BA Crew Launches Three-Day Heathrow Strike

Several members of Unite, a union of British Airlines employees, have instituted picket lines at Heathrow Airport (LHR) as a protest over worker wages that is slated to last for three days.

Len McCluskey, general secretary for Unite, said, “It was fantastic to see such strong support for our members.

“Their courage and spirit in their fight for decent pay is undimmed despite the shamefully confrontational stance of British Airways.”

The airline claims that it will continue to operate all long-haul services arriving to and departing from Heathrow for the duration of the strike, although it will cancel several short-haul flights.
