Servisair/GlobeGround Potential Industrial Action - London Gatwick
Servisair/GlobeGround can confirm that it has been advised by The Transport and General Workers' Union, that following a ballot of its members at Gatwick Airport, industrial action is intended within its baggage, aircraft loading and cargo warehouse operations, for the following 24 hour periods:

03:00 hours 25th September until 02:59 26th September 2004
03:00 hours 30th September until 02:59 Ist October 2004

Servisair/GlobeGround is continuing discussions with the Union in order to reach a satisfactory resolution. Contingency plans are in place to minimise any potential disruption and customers are being informed of on-going developments.

Cargo clerical and passenger services at Gatwick, along with all other Servisair/GlobeGround operations remain unaffected.
