Those moving abroad will not be affected by air strikes

Posted 17 Aug 2010

People moving abroad in order to teach English this summer should not be affected by air strikes as they seem to have been averted.

On August 17th, it was announced that trade union Unite would be urging its members to accept a new offer made by airport operator BAA following negiotations.

Last week, firemen, security staff and engineers voted in favour of a walkout over pay, which would have affected six airports in the UK including Edinburgh and Stansted.

However, it is thought that these strikes will no longer go ahead as Unite members have now been offered a two per cent pay rise and a £500 lump sum as a bonus.

Bob Atkinson, travel expert at travelsupermarket.com, said: "Thankfully, both the BAA and Unite have been able to resolve this dispute knowing that there would be outrage amongst UK travellers if strike action had gone ahead."

He added that travellers had faced enough chaos this year due to the volcanic ash cloud closing air space and snow shutting airports.

Now, people moving abroad to teach English will no longer have to contend with an air strike.
