Drivers who ferry Stansted Airport flyers between Essex, London and their UK destinations could go on strike.
Private hire drivers at StreetCars - the official supplier of pre-paid car rides to London Stansted Airport - could take part in a ballot amid a dispute pay and cost of living pressures during the cost of living crisis.
GMB trade union organisers have raised concerns StreetCars scrapes more commission from drivers than the former official supplier 24x7 Stansted.
StreetCars - a Manchester-based firm - became the "official supplier" of pre-booked private hire journeys to the airport on April 1, 2022.
Cenk Kasakci, a StreetCars drivers' representative, alleged workers are raising concerns which are falling on deaf ears.
He said: "We are at the end of our tether. Promises are made but habitually broken, management behaviours must change."
Mr Kasakci added: "Many drivers have worked from the airport for years and worked under the previous operator but never saw such behaviour.
