Strike action threatened at UK airports
20th July 2010 Unions are to ballot more than 6,000 members about possible strike action at BAA's six UK airports in a dispute over pay.The decision by Unite and Prospect to ballot follows negotiations over what Unite said was BAA's 1% pay offer, plus the possibility of 0.5% more.
Unite's Brendan Gold said BAA staff accepted a pay freeze in 2009 and described the 2010 offer as "paltry".
BAA, owned by Spain's Ferrovial, said it was "disappointed" by the move.
