Heathrow security workers start second strike in two months

By May 4, 2023 No Comments

Security officers have gone on strike at London Heathrow Airport after the breakdown of “last minute talks” at conciliation service Acas.

The 1,400 workers, who went on strike over pay in April 2023, had announced in the meantime that they would be downing tools again  from May 4-6, May 9-10 and May 25-27.

The officers are based at Heathrow’s terminal 5, where British Airways operates.

 “Unite has given Heathrow Airport every opportunity to make an improved pay offer, which could have led to the strike action being suspended. Sadly, they refused to grasp the opportunity to make an offer which could meet members’ expectations,” said the union, which represents the striking workers.
