Strikes to ruin summer holidays for families as Gatwick staff will walkout within days


Almost 1,000 workers at Gatwick Airport, including baggage handlers and check-in staff, will stage eight days of strikes from later this month.

Staff will strike in a dispute over pay, the union Unite announced, at the start of the school summer holidays.

Significant disruption, delays and cancellations are “inevitable”, the union said.

The workers will strike initially for four days beginning on Friday 28 July and ending on Tuesday 1 August.

A further four days of strikes are scheduled to take place from Friday 4 August until Tuesday 8 August.
