UK: Birmingham Airport: possible Christmas holiday strike

Skynetblogs.be: Birmingham Airport staff in Christmas strike ballot

Some staff at Birmingham Airport staff are being balloted over taking industrial action over Christmas.

The Unite union said its members had rejected a 2.5% pay offer which had followed a pay freeze since 2009.

It is understood up to 250 members, mainly security staff, are being balloted over taking action in the week up to Christmas and on 25 December.

Birmingham Airport said contingency plans would be put in place to minimise disruption if the strike went ahead.
