The Unite union is warning of major disruption after workers voted to strike at Bournemouth Airport.
About 80 Unite members had been due to walk out in a dispute over pay earlier this month, but action was suspended to allow workers to be balloted on whether to accept a new deal.
Union members, who work in different areas of the airport including baggage handling, check-in, flight dispatching and plane fuelling, have now rejected the deal and will strike on four days starting from the end of September.
The strikes will take place on 30 September and 1 October, then on 16 and 17 October.
Unite regional officer Janet Wall said: “This dispute will inevitably result in major disruption to passengers but this dispute is entirely the fault of the employer.
“Offers so far have been rejected as they don’t go far enough to address years of low pay and the fact that workers are struggling financially. However, Bournemouth Airport can stop this highly disruptive strike action by coming back with a new improved offer.”
Unite members who work for the fire service at Bournemouth Airport, part of a different union bargaining agreement, will not be striking after accepting a new pay deal.
