Heathrow Airport Braces for Extended Summer Strikes by Security Staff.
Security officers at Heathrow airport who are members of the Unite union will strike for 31 days between 24 June and 27 August, affecting terminals 3 and 5 and checks for non-passengers. The action could lead to queues at security, but it is unclear whether any airlines will cancel flights. The strikes come as Heathrow is struggling to recover from the impact of the pandemic. Unite described it as "a major escalation" in its pay dispute with the airport.
