GMB has responded to the Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander stating that she is "minded to approve" Gatwick expansion.
Declan MacIntyre, GMB Organiser said:
"Today's announcement from the Secretary of State clearing 'a path' to Gatwick Airport’s expansion is very welcome.
"Thousands of workers across the region depend on the airport for their jobs and livelihoods.
"GMB looks forward to working with Gatwick Airport Limited, and employers operating in Gatwick, to make sure high quality, unionised jobs are at the heart of the construction and operation of an expanded airport."
