Union warns of 'check-in chaos' for EasyJet passengers at Stansted
EasyJet check-in staff will stage a series of strikes totalling 17 days at Stansted Airport - starting later this month.
Unite the Union has announced the industrial action will begin on Thursday July 25 - just as the summer holiday season ramps up.
The strikes are part of an ongoing pay dispute between its members and Stobart Aviation Services Limited.
The company employs 43 people as part of its contract for EasyJet check-in staff at Stansted.
The walk-outs will take place on:
July 25 to 29
August 2 to 5
August 9 to 12
August 16 to 19
August 23 to 27
Unite claims workers employed by other companies at Stansted are being paid up to 20 per cent more to do the same job.
It insists the strikes will cause "severe disruption to thousands of EasyJet passengers".
But EasyJet assured customers there would be no impact on people travelling with them.
