Not sure where to place this, but perhaps here would be a good place given 2 out of the 3 carriers mentioned are *A members.

Airport baggage handlers and check-in staff at Heathrow and Aberdeen airports are set to hold a series of 48-hour strikes in a row over pay.

The Unite union said members working for SAS Ground Services would walk out from 22 December, with further strikes from Boxing Day and 3 January.

Unite says the stoppages will affect travellers on Emirates, Turkish and Thai airlines at Heathrow.

Not that easy. As long as the proper rules and procedure are followed, industrial action is legally protected.
