Security staff at Heathrow Airport vote for 10-day strike
MANCHESTER, England, March 17 (Reuters) – Security staff at London’s Heathrow Airport voted on Friday to strike for 10 days, trade union Unite said.
The walkout, involving over 1,400 staff, will start on March 31 and end on April 9, Easter Sunday, the union said.
“It is the airport’s workers who are fundamental to its success and they deserve a fair pay increase,” Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said.
The union said the airport’s offer of a 10% pay increase could not make up for years of pay freezes and cuts.
