What’s the term? It never rains, it pours. Unite is getting busy, with them to ballot workers on the most recently pay offer from BAA.
With the usual lines of “Derisory and paltry pay rises”.
Unite is to ballot more than 6,000 members about possible strike action at BAA’s six UK airports in a dispute over pay due to to a 1% pay rise, with a possible 0.5% more (which more than some sectors will get this year I should add).
BAA staff accepted a freeze in 2009, and have been offered this rise for 2010.
BAA is disappointed has, and released a load of fluff, but for the passengers, there’s no action yet – until the strike has been approved.
The ballot to the membership will open on 23 July and close on 12 August.
As I said earlier – it never rains… it pours…
