Heathrow Airport strikes over with pay deal agreed
A summer of Heathrow Airport strikes has been averted with a pay deal finally agreed.
Security staff at the airport agreed a new proposal giving them a 10% pay increase.
The pay rise is backdated to 1 January, and a further pay rise of 1.5% kicks in from October.
Airport strikes were planned for nearly every weekend until the end of August.
The deal also boosts maternity and paternity pay.
It affects pay and conditions for over 2,000 security staff at Terminal 3 and Terminal 5.
“This was a hard won victory which demonstrates what can be achieved when workers stand together,” said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham.
A spokesperson for Heathrow said: “We can now move forward together and focus on delivering an excellent summer for our passengers.”
