UK airports could face strike action on December 23 and 24

Workers from the Unite trade union voted to strike on 23-24 December if negotiations fail. The strike would involve 500 check-in staff and ground crew at Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester airports. Travellers should allow additional time for check in and possible flight delays.
