Around 350 ground handlers working for Menzies will go on a 72-hour strike at Heathrow from tomorrow, the union Unite has announced.
The workers will walk out from 4am on Friday in a dispute over salaries, with union leaders saying the offer made by the ground handling company was “far below the current inflation rate of 14.2 per cent.”
“Menzies is a wealthy company and it can fully afford to pay its workers a decent pay increase,” said Unite’s general secretary Sharon Graham.
“It is greed not need which is preventing a fair pay offer being made.”
The walkout is expected to cause disruption at the west London hub, leading to delays and cancellations to thousands of passengers at terminals 2, 3 and 4.
