Stansted, based to the north-east of London, is the UK's fourth busiest airport
Workers who scan baggage at Stansted Airport are to stage a series of strikes over the Bank Holiday weekend this month in a row over pay.
GMB union members employed by Mitie will take action from 03:30 to 06:00 BST and from 15:30 to 18:00 over four days from Friday 23 August.
The union said its 40 members voted by 92% in favour of industrial action.
Stansted Airport said it was talking to Mitie about the dispute and any possible effect it could have.
GMB regional officer Gary Pearce said: "Mitie are expecting GMB members to agree to the removal of premium rates for working nights or overtime worth 3.5% to pay for a pay rise of 2%.
"In spite of months of talks telling the company this was not acceptable to our members, they went ahead and imposed these pay cuts from June."
