Strikes to go ahead at UK airports

(28 December 2007)

Talks between the Unite union and BAA the airport operator to avert strikes in January have failed to reach an agreement.

Officials have called 24-hour strikes on January 7 and January 14 and a 48-hour stoppage on January 17-18. Workers voted two to one in favour of the strike action in protest at the company's plans to end a final-salary pension scheme.

All seven BAA airports will be affected, the others being Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton.

There is currently no news on when any new discussions will be held/
