strike according to Autism This was due to the fact that Heathrow Airport “was offering workers a wage increase of only 10 per cent after years of wage freezes and pay cuts”. However, the current offer is not fair and is a “real pay cut” because the rate of inflation (RPI) is currently 13.4 percent.
Airport workers report that they are unable to make ends meet due to a combination of low wages and the cost of living, according to the union. An airport security guard, for example, makes just £24,000 a year.
Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the United Kingdom. It is located approximately 20 kilometers west of central London and flies to hundreds of destinations around the world.
