Norwich Airport was one place with lots of new members joining today. Mandy Farmer, who is a Prospect rep, said: “It has been great to see so many of my colleagues joining during Union Week.
“The more members we have, the more clearly we can make the case for the improvements we would like to see at work.
“I would argue anyone working in aviation needs to join Prospect.”
