Heathrow airport employees demand better pay, to go on strike ahead of Qatar World Cup. Read details
Unite has said that 700 ground-handling, airside transport, and cargo workers employed by Dnata and Menzies at Heathrow will go on strike for three days beginning November 18.
According to the union, this will cause disruption, cancellations, and delays at Heathrow terminals 2, 3, and 4. The strike will notably hurt Qatar Airways, which has added 10 flights each week during the World Cup. Other carriers that will be substantially impacted include Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, and Cathay Pacific.
