A leading union claims that most planes at Birmingham Airport will be grounded this month after announcing "all-out industrial strike action" today.Fuel tanker drivers and operators at Birmingham Airport have announced they will be embarking on industrial action.
The striking workers are represented by Unite the Union, who deemed the nine per cent pay offer a"real terms pay cut" due to the real rate of inflation standing at 10.7 per cent. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:"Menzies can afford to pay and it should pay. The company cannot expect these workers to agree to two years’ of real terms pay cuts during a cost of living crisis when it is bringing in such massive profits.
Holidaymakers jetting off from Birmingham this summer recently breathed a sigh of relief when 150 security officers and terminal technicians recently called off strike action after Unite secured workers a 13.3 per cent pay deal. "Menzies Aviation is putting contingency plans into operation. Birmingham Airport does not anticipate flight cancellations.”
