Almost 800 workers at London’s Heathrow Airport will strike for a week in May over plans by the operator to outsource their jobs, the Unite union said.
Workers will walk out for seven days from May 7 in protest of plans to outsource jobs in passenger services, trolley operations, and campus security, the Unite union said in a statement Tuesday. Firefighters and airside staff will join the striking workers, the union said.
