Possible strike action at Luton Airport

LUTON Airport may still close down over the Christmas period because of a strike, although no dates have been agreed upon.

A spokesman for the Transport and General Workers Union said a strike would go ahead if better terms and conditions for workers could not be attained.

He added that an agreement was possible as talks between the two sides are ongoing. A statement issued by the airport said contingency plans are in place to minimise disruption if there is a strike.

The TGWU voted to take action earlier this month following a business review of the airport. Some workers faced a pay cut as a result of the review.
