Unite announces industrial action at Gatwick
18 August 2008
Unite, the Trade Union which represents some members of Swissport's ground handling operation at Gatwick, has announced its intention to strike on Monday 25 and Friday 29 August. Swissport is responsible for baggage handling and check-in, and therefore their action may have an impact on some Gatwick passengers.
Strike action is planned to take place from 03:00 to 03:00 - a 24 hour period - on both days.
BAA Gatwick is working with Swissport, and the airlines it represents, to minimise the potential impact on passengers planning to travel on the strike dates.
If you are travelling with the following airlines on either strike day please contact your airlines for further guidance:
