Passenger using Luton airport on Wednesday (30 August) have been warned of "extensive" disruption and delays as workers at three different companies represented by the Unite union take strike action.

EasyJet crew in Spain will reportedly strike for nine days from Friday (1 July)

The most severe disruption is set to be caused by the walkout of workers at ground handlers GH London – who are responsible for Wizz Air’s ground handling operations – due to a breakdown in industrial relations.

The 100 plus workers, the union claims, are taking strike action as a result of GH London targeting a Unite rep with disciplinary action; the use of CCTV filming of workers in break rooms without agreement; failure to follow its own disciplinary and grievance process; and its failure to pay wages in full and on time.
