Liverpool Airport say ‘business as usual’ during strikes
21.11.11
Liverpool Airport has said it will be 'business as usual' this week when baggage handlers stage a series of two-hour strikes. Members of one of the UK's largest unions, the GMB, who work at Servisair, voted to begin their walk-outs at 05:00 on Wednesday in protest at plans for 47 compulsory redundancies at the firm, which provides ground support to a number of major airlines. A second day of strikes will be staged on Friday, with a single two-hour strike on Sunday followed by a two more strikes on November 28.
The union said it planned to repeat the pattern indefinitely and it also announced a continuous ban on overtime. Affected airlines will include Ryanair, KLM, Flybe and Hungarian airline WizzAir. However an airport spokesman said the strikes would not affect passengers and that they have received an assurance from Servisair that staff would be brought in from elsewhere to cover for striking staff. He said: ‘It will be business as usual.'
