Heathrow staff begin strike over pay and conditions

WORKERS facing cuts to their already low pay at Heathrow airport will stage the first in a series of strikes tomorrow as the dispute escalates.
Members of Unite, including firefighters and security staff, will walk out for 24 hours, and again on December 14, 17 and 18 unless the row is resolved.
The strike action will also involve engineers, campus security, baggage operations, central terminal operations, landside and airside workers.
