Latest Swissport Industrial Action Updates (2)
Ramp agents working for Swissport at Leeds-Bradford airport have won their fight for additional de-icing payments and have called off proposed industrial action that could have brought the airport to a standstill this Christmas. Workers at the airport, already responsible for baggage handling, moving planes around the tarmac and driving specialised vehicles had been due to take industrial action after they were denied a bonus payment for additional de-icing duties in cold weather.
Nearly 50 Unite union members, employed as ramp agents at the airport, are planning to walkout between 19 December and 4 January. Unite said the strike had been called over the company's "refusal" to pay workers a monthly cold weather payment of £125 - payments that Swissport workers at other airports receive.
