Heathrow strike looms for Easter holidays

Thursday, 13 Feb, 2023 0

Heathrow strikes could scupper holiday plans for thousands at Easter.

Over 3,000 security guards, engineers and firefighters will be balloted this week.

They have so far rejected a 10% pay deal.

If members take strike action it will inevitably cause severe disruption throughout Heathrow,” Unite regional co-ordinating officer Wayne King said.

“This is about need not greed.”

The ballot closes in mid-March.

A Heathrow strike could coincide with the Easter holidays.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham slammed Heathrow for ‘gross hypocrisy’ over executive pay and bonuses.

Heathrow said: “We are extremely disappointed that Unite is tabling a formal ballot.”

“If strikes do go ahead the pay offer will be withdrawn.”
