Travellers are being warned to expect “severe delays” as security guards at one of the busiest airports in Europe strike over Easter in a dispute over pay.
Trade union Unite said more than 1400 security guards at Heathrow Airport in London voted in favour of the 10-day walkout from Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 9.
The workers involved are from Terminal 5, which is used by British Airways, and those who check cargo that enters the airport.
Upon announcing the strike action, the union said flights using the airport would “experience severe delays and disruption”.
