Airport refuel staff on strike

Unite members who refuel aircraft at Manchester Airport are no on strike. They work for ASIG.

The strike is due to last until 1245 BST on Tuesday.

Unite regional officer Lawrence Chapple-Gill said ASIG had failed to make a "fair and decent offer to avoid any potential disruption during the peak August Bank holiday weekend".

ASIG staff refuel about 70% of planes at Manchester airport.

Baggage handlers and cleaners at the airport had planned to strike over the bank holiday weekend, but reached an agreement last week.
