Gatwick airport workers to strike for eight days over summer in pay row

Unite says members who carry out roles such as baggage handling and check-in will take action

About 950 workers at Gatwick airport will take eight days of strike action beginning later this month in a dispute over pay.

Gatwick said airline contingency plans should allow flights to operate but the news of strikes affecting schedules, on top of air traffic control issues, will raise fears of another difficult summer after the labour shortages of 2022.
