Airport baggage handlers on strike Easter

[crankedup]

Its all in the timing, 150 workers at Stansted are striking over the Easter period. Changes in working shift patterns are, the Union say, leading up to a 1k pay reduction over a 12 month period. The Company involved is Swiss Air.
A day trip to Southwold will do for me thanks.

Not travelling via Stansted Airport, how very surprising.

I like the term self-loading cargo/

Flew Easyjet yesterday with Speedboarding and at the front of the queue by the aircraft door when there was a thundering of feet as the rest of the passengers came down - "Smithers, release the hounds."

Baggage handlers on strike

It's 50/50 whether more or less than normal will arrive.

I am flying Ryanair on Easter Friday from Stansted to Ibiza. The communications director of Ryanair has said that if necessary passengers will only be able to take hand luggage.

Stansted have said that they also use other luggage loading companies, but I suspect it might put an early end to my holiday. Hope my insurance will cover my costs!
