Workers at Edinburgh Airport are preparing to go on strike due to allegations of bullying by Swissport bosses. The airport has been named as the worst in Scotland for flight delays. GMB union officials will ballot for strike action after persistent complaints by workers.
Holidaymakers at Scotland’s busiest airport are facing travel chaos this summer, as workers prepare to walk out amid allegations of “horrendous” bullying.
The company came under fire last summer amid scores of complaints about lost or delayed luggage. And it has now been served with a “final notice” by the airport with bosses told to improve performance. Staff also claim they get “tickets” for going to the toilet, taking prescribed medication or even if public transport delays cause them to be late.
“In February, after helping others to put in complaints, I was pulled aside and told I was being investigated. I got a letter after telling me I was suspended. She said: “I’ve been abused, called names, sworn at and screamed at, it’s constant. It’s a daily occurrence. I was pulled up about taking leave after a miscarriage.”
