BBC: Easyjet staff vote on strike
Workers at the budget airline Easyjet are considering strike action over union recognition and pay. Baggage handlers and cabin crew will vote on whether to walk out now that Easyjet has made it clear that it doesn't recognise their union, the Transport and General Workers' Union. They also want a higher pay rise.A strike would severely impact travellers, as EasyJet is a budget airline with none of the usual procedures for stranded passengers (i.e. they will refund your ticket, but not automatically provide you with a hotel, put you on another airline or similar...)
