Humberside Airport staff to hold six strike days in pay row
Staff at Humberside Airport are to hold six days of strikes in the coming weeks in a row over pay, a union has said. Unison said security and shop staff, cleaners, firefighters and refuellers would strike for 24 hours on Tuesday 17 October and for 48 hours on 31 October. Further action was also planned in November, with the union claiming its members were being paid less than similar staff at other airports. The airport said the strike would have "limited impact to passengers". Unison said staff at Humberside Airport who earned around GBP21,000 had been offered an 8.4% pay increase, while those earning around GBP27,000 had been offered a rise of 6.5%, and a 5.1% increase was offered to workers earning around GBP35,000. They "were paid significantly lower than their counterparts" at Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports, the union added.<br/>
