Security staff at London Luton Airport are to stage a series of strikes in a row over new shift patterns, including over this coming Bank Holiday weekend.

Members of Unite will walk out on 5 May and again from 7 May to 13 May, claiming "heavy handed" changes to working time.

The union accused the airport of attempting to push through a new shift pattern affecting about 120 security guards, leading to extra working days.

Unite regional officer Jeff Hodge said: "Luton Airport is taking a very heavy handed approach by trying to force security guards to work an extra 15 days.

"The airport needs to take responsibility for the staff shortages by doing what's needed to recruit new staff rather than heaping all the burden on to its workforce.

In response a Luton Airport spokesman said: "We are disappointed Unite is pressing ahead with industrial action, however we have robust contingency plans in place to minimise disruption to passengers.

"We remain open to further talks with Unite, but they have declined our requests to meet."

The airport said it gave staff affected by the shift changes a vote on different options and accepted the outcome, with the chosen shift pattern due to begin on Wednesday.
