Heathrow Airport Security Staff Vote in Favor of Pay Deal, Strikes Called Off

Security staff at Heathrow Airport have voted in favor of a pay deal, which includes a 10% pay increase, a 1.5% pay rise, and a guaranteed inflation-linked pay increase for 2024.

The deal also includes improved maternity and paternity pay and the end of switching staff between terminals without warning and placing agency workers in security roles.

The strikes, which were due to take place across nearly every weekend from mid-June until the end of August, have been called off.

No flight cancellations were expected had the strikes gone ahead.

The pay deal is equivalent to an increase of between 15.5% and 17.5% depending on staff pay bands.
