The Unite union says staff are demanding the London living wage of £10.75 an hour.

Unite’s Clare Keogh said: “Passengers need to be aware if their baggage is mislaid it could disappear forever while members are on strike.

“Our members are taking strike action as a last resort as life is becoming a daily struggle to survive on poverty pay rates.

“There is still time for strike action to be avoided if Global Baggage Solutions is prepared to make a realistic pay offer and return to the negotiating table.”
