UK: Humberside Airport staff walk out in 24-hour strike

Some workers at Humberside Airport are staging a 24-hour strike in a dispute over pay. The action involves firefighters, re-fuellers, security and travel shop staff and cleaners. Unison Yorkshire and Humberside regional organiser Michael Parkinson said strike action was always a "last resort", but staff felt "undervalued". Humberside Airport said there would be "no significant impact to normal operations". Parkinson said: "The company which owns the airport is profitable, and we believe they can comfortably afford a pay rise for staff. They want the employer to recognise the loyalty and dedication they've shown, especially during the pandemic," he said. "It's up to airport management to meet with the union and put forward an acceptable pay offer."<br/>
