Passengers planning on jetting away on their holiday in the coming weeks could face severe delays.
Check-in staff at Stansted Airport will strike for 17 days after a long-running pay dispute.
The strike, which kicks off on July 25, involves 43 passenger service agents employed by Stobart Aviation Services Limited, which has the easyJet contract at Stansted, Cambridgeshire Live reports.
Unite, Britain and Ireland’s largest union, said: "The low paid workers voted unanimously to strike over the company’s refusal to pay wages in line with similar companies at Stansted; the refusal to recognise Unite as a trade union for collective bargaining purposes; and a breakdown in industrial relations."
The union has apologised to passengers and urges them to contact easyJet.
The strike dates are 25 to 29 July; 2 to 5 August; 9 to 12 August; 16 to 19 August; and 23 to 27 August.
If you're travelling on these dates you'll want to check with easyJet to see if there will be any delays.
A Stobart Group spokesperson said: “Stobart Aviation Services has, and will continue to engage with Unite and its representatives to reach an agreement on union recognition for our Front of House teams at London Stansted.
"We believe that our active engagement to date has resulted in good progress. We are therefore disappointed to have now received notice of potential action.
"However, we will continue to engage directly with Unite in order to deliver an agreement. We have contingency plans in place to manage the impact on passengers.”
