Unite signs recognition agreement with LSG Sky Chefs – Manchester
Airport
7 November 2011
Unite and LSG Sky Chefs, a catering company which provides
in-flight services, have signed a trade union recognition agreement
which entitles over 100 workers at Manchester Airport to be
represented on both an individual and collective basis.
Unite regional coordinating officer, Lawrence Chapple-Gill,
said: “We are glad that we have been able to reach this agreement
with LSG. We already have similar agreements with the company
at Gatwick and Heathrow airports and this completes the
circle. It ensures that across the whole of the LSG operation
negotiations on matters like pay, hours, holidays and consultation
on other work-related issues will take place with Unite.
“A particularly positive aspect is that the vast majority of our
members are from black, Asian, ethnic minority and Eastern European
communities – proving the point that no matter who you are, where
you are from or what language you speak, there is a place for you
in Unite, and by working together, we can succeed.”
