A London airport is facing further threat of strike action this summer after ground handlers announced plans to walkout in an ongoing dispute over pay and working conditions.

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

Passengers flying with Wizz Air from Luton airport have been warned by the Unite union to brace themselves for "substantial" delays and disruption after workers employed by its ground handler GH London announced industrial action following a collapse in relations.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "GH London’s conduct is appalling; workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace and the company’s behaviour falls far below that standard.

"Unite always puts the jobs, pay and conditions of its members first and the workers at GH London will be receiving the union’s unflinching support."
