Strike talks on Monday
15.08.09
Talks are to be held in a bid to prevent baggage handlers at Liverpool Airport going out on continuous strike from next Thursday. About 150 workers employed by ServisAir are due to take action from August 20 in a row over redundancies. The union says ServisAir intends to force 51 staff to reapply for 27 jobs.
The strike action would hit passengers on flights with Ryanair, KLM, Wizzair, Flybe and Thomson. Talks are due to take place on Monday between management, union officials and representatives from ACAS.
Terry Mellor, from the GMB union, said: ‘Both sides have agreed to make a final effort to try to avert this stoppage. Withdrawal of the imminent threat of compulsory redundancies is necessary so as not to disrupt the travel plans of the public.’
