This is reported by the British news agency PA on Thursday evening. Employer Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) did not submit a higher bid, the union justified the decision shortly before the start of the Easter holiday.

“Heathrow can afford to pay its employees a decent wage,” said Sharon Graham, Unite’s general secretary. The union assumes serious delays and disabilities for passengers.

An airport spokesman, on the other hand, emphasized that everything possible would be done to deal with the consequences for passengers. “We will not allow this unnecessary strike to affect our passengers’ hard-earned vacations. Our contingency plans will ensure that the airport continues to operate normally,” the spokesperson continued.
