Strikes called off
21.12.09
Baggage handlers and check-in staff at Heathrow and Aberdeen airports have called off a series of planned 48-hour strikes due to start tomorrow. Unite union members working for SAS Ground Services had been due to strike tomorrow, with further strikes from Boxing Day and 3 January in a row over pay.
The stoppages would have affected travellers on Emirates, Turkish and Thai airlines at Heathrow and KLM, Air France and Wideroe and Atlantic at Aberdeen. They were called off after staff received a new pay offer from their employer.
The union said today that it will now ballot baggage handlers and check-in staff at the two airports on whether to accept the new offer on pay and working conditions.
