Description

Around 1,400 security staff have walked out at Heathrow airport two days ahead of the Coronation and the bank holiday weekend. Members of the Unite union, mainly employed at Terminal 5, are striking in support of a pay claim. Signs in the terminal warn departing passengers: “There may be some security delays due to industrial action.”The Fast Track security lanes are closed, but queues for the first wave of departures on Thursday morning were not excessive.This podcast is free, much like my weekly newsletter - subscribe here to get it in your inbox every Friday.
