CAA members to take further strike action

The members at Gatwick Airport will take a day of joint strike action with members of Prospect.

PCS members working for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) took two days of strike action on 16 and 17 January after rejecting the pay offer imposed by their employer.

The CAA imposed a pay offer of 4% for the lowest-earners, and 3% for other grades. They have made an offer of a £1000 non-consolidated payment to be made in April 2025, which was immediately rejected by both PCS and Prospect, but have confirmed they will not reopen pay negotiations for the year 2024-2025.

PCS and Prospect have therefore decided to take a day’s joint strike action on Thursday 6 February

The joint action will see around 450 members of the two unions being asked to withdraw their labour. This action, including the previous two days, is the first industrial action in the CAA since the late 1980s. If the CAA refuse to make an acceptable pay offer, more combined strike days will follow.
