Heathrow cargo strike threat lifted
05.05.11
The threat of a strike by cargo workers at Heathrow Airport in a row over terms and conditions has been lifted after a deal was agreed. The Unite union said its members employed by ground services company Swissport had unanimously voted to accept offers on the issues of agency staff and the introduction of new terms and conditions of employment.
Local Unite organiser Kevin Hall said: ‘I am delighted we have reached an agreement with Swissport and that strike action has been avoided. However, this dispute could have been settled ages ago. It is a shame that it took a strike ballot, which was overwhelmingly supported by our members, to get this agreement.’
