Gatwick airport strikes set to cause more disruption for travellers
- More than 220 assisted travel workers at Gatwick Airport are set to strike over a pay dispute.
- The industrial action, organised by trade union Unite, is scheduled to take place from 17 to 21 September and 23 to 26 September.
- Union members unanimously rejected a two-year offer from employer Wilson James that included a 3.4 per cent pay increase.
- Unite warned the walkout will inevitably cause disruption across the airport unless a significantly improved pay offer is presented.
- Gatwick Airport stated it is working with Wilson James to mitigate the impact and expects to operate a normal flight schedule.
