Another Heathrow Express strike announced
17.06.11
A second strike by staff working on the Heathrow Express airport rail link has been announced by the RMT union. Staff will walk out for 24-hours from 09:15 on 26 June (a week on Sunday). They will also not do any overtime and work to rule for 24 hours on 25 June and again from 27 June.
In May staff went on strike for 48-hours after rejecting the BAA owned company's offer of a 4.5% increase over one year. RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said: ‘The company knows it has tabled a completely unacceptable pay offer loaded with strings. Despite a massive vote for action by our members and 48 hours of rock solid action, it has made no attempt to negotiate or improve its position.'
‘RMT is ready to negotiate seriously to put in place a fair pay package that will take us through the Olympics period and recognises the contribution our members make to delivering a highly successful and profitable service, and we need the company to show the same commitment.’
