More than 1,400 Unite union members working at Terminal 5 are set to walk out from Friday (31 March) in a dispute over pay. The union says the 10% pay increase put forward by the airport is unacceptable given the current rate of inflation.
“Workers can’t be expected to accept real-term pay cuts as shareholders and bosses get richer and richer,” said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham. “So if the strike is to be averted, there needs to be more real money put on the table to make a decent pay rise."
