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.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.
Hundreds of thousands of flights across Europe this summer are already in jeopardy following a vote by air traffic controllers to take strike action. Up to 12,600 flights every day - around a third of the journeys made across the continent during the peak summer holiday period - could be delayed or cancelled as a result of the industrial action.
