A third of Heathrow security officers are planning to leave their jobs due to poor pay and long shifts, the Unite union has warned.

Strikes at Heathrow are postponed until Thursday

Heathrow found traces of RAAC in its Terminal 3

A survey of more than 750 security officers at Heathrow by the union found that one in three were planning to stop working at the London hub within the next six months, with half of the respondents telling Unite they were unsure about their futures at the airport.

 

If it were to take place, the exodus could spell significant trouble for the airport, with significant delays and disruption throughout the summer.
