Heathrow Security Officers to Strike This Summer

Workers to Walk Out Over Pay and Working Conditions

Industrial Action to Cause Travel Chaos

Heathrow Airport security officers have announced plans to strike this summer in a dispute over pay and working conditions. The strike action is set to take place from July 26th to 30th, and could cause major disruption to travel through the UK's busiest airport.

The workers, who are employed by security company Mitie, are demanding a pay rise of 7.5%, as well as improved working conditions. They say that they are currently paid less than security officers at other airports, and that they are struggling to make ends meet.

Mitie has said that it is disappointed with the decision to strike, and that it is committed to resolving the dispute. The company has offered a pay rise of 2%, but this has been rejected by the workers.

The strike action is likely to cause significant delays and disruption to travel through Heathrow Airport. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest information, and to allow extra time for travel.

The strike is the latest in a series of industrial action by workers at Heathrow Airport. In recent months, baggage handlers and ground staff have also taken strike action over pay and working conditions.
