Further strike planned for Heathrow rail services
Union bosses have confirmed a further 24 hour strike on the Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect services due to an ongoing dispute over cuts.
Rail union RMT has instructed all Heathrow Express members to take strike action from 03.00 hours on Wednesday June 4, 2014 until 02.59 hours on Thursday June 5, 2014.
It says workers are furious that the rail service plans to re-organise its workforce in an attempt to save £6 million over the next five years.
It claims 201 jobs are now placed under threat of redundancy.
The RMT says the attack on jobs and working conditions comes as a direct result of the decision of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to cut £600 million from the Heathrow Airport budget over the same period.
