UK Airport workers are to be balloted in a dispute which will disrupt travel over the busy August period.
Some 6,000 BAA staff at six airports are being asked to vote for strike action by Unite in a pay row.
The airports involved are Heathrow, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Southampton.
Firefighters, security guards and engineers working for BAA will start voting on what Unite has called a "paltry" pay offer of 1%, following a pay freeze last year.
A vote in favour of industrial action could mean a strike in late August.
The strike ballot among Unite's 6,185 BAA members runs from Friday until 12 August.
