LUTON AIRPORT cleaners are to be balloted on strike action after bosses refused to pay the living wage of £8.75 an hour.
The cleaners, who work for contractor Sasse and are members of Unite, will be Luton’s fourth group of workers to ballot for strike action over pay and conditions.
Unite regional officer Jeff Hodge said: “Cleaners at Luton are preparing for a strike ballot to fight for pay justice.
“Sasse is offering too little too late. Unless the company improves its offer the airport faces its fourth strike ballot over pay this year.
“Growing passenger numbers at Luton mean that keeping the airport safe and clean for staff and passengers is hard work.
“Cleaners deserve a Real Living Wage so they can afford the day-to-day essentials.
“With healthy profits and growing passenger numbers, Luton and its contractors have no excuse for paying workers below the Real Living Wage.”
