Red Handling (UNITE) Strike Calendar

As the workers handle about 50 flights a day, the strike action will cause major disruption for holiday makers planning getaways that weekend with expected flight delays, cancellations, long queues at check-in and baggage delays. Unite members are in dispute over numerous issues, with the most pressing being the continued mishandling of the company pension scheme which has been going on for over a year. Members have found their payments have been missing, are incorrect and some have even not had pension schemes set up for them.

Meanwhile Red Handling is routinely paying its employees late, something which has happened three times over the last year with some staff workers waiting for wages for up to two weeks. Despite putting staff at risk of financial difficulty, Red Handling has failed to agree to a contractual late payment of wages reimbursement.
