unite-logo-782972 Unite union is asking Some 6,000 BAA staff at six airports, including Heathrow, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Southampton, to vote for strike action in a pay row. The airport operator says its offer is reasonable at a time when the industry is recovering from the recession and the volcanic ash cloud disruption.
