Redline Oil Services (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Strikes by Gatwick plane refuellers employed by Redline Oil have ended after Unite secured a pay deal worth 9.1 per cent for hourly rates. The workers voted to accept the 18-month deal by 92 per cent on a turnout of 87 per cent. They will receive a 4.75 per cent pay rise backdated to October 2024, plus an additional 1.75 per cent from October 2025. The deal also includes a reduction in the working week from 40 to 39 hours with no loss of pay backdated to October 2024. The reduction in the working week increases the hourly rate by 2.6 per cent – bringing the full value of the deal to 9.1 per cent. There is also a reduction in the number of days the workers must wait to receive sick pay, from three days to one. Pay deals will also now come into effect from October rather than April, bringing the anniversary date in line with other Gatwick refuellers.
