Security personnel at Heathrow airport will strike for a further eight days next month as part of an ongoing dispute over pay, the Unite union has announced.
Staff will walk out over 4-6 May, 9-10 May and 25-27 May as part of the action, which the union said would cause "inevitable disruption and delays". It follows 10 days of strikes over Easter, which involved 1,400 security workers.
Announcing the latest action, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Yet again, we have a chief executive in John Holland-Kaye who thinks it is acceptable to boost his earnings by an eye watering 88%, from £800,000 to a staggering £1.5 million, while he denies his own workers a decent pay rise.
“This dispute is bound to escalate with more workers being balloted and disruption set to continue throughout the summer.”
