Heathrow Strike Called Off after Union Vote Accepts Deal

DALLAS – A proposed strike at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) by British Airways (BA) workers was called off after negotiations led to an 8% pay hike. Also agreed to were a one-off bonus and the reinstatement of shift pay. The offer was accepted by 75% of the union members.

Members of Unite and the GMB union, about 700 workers, mostly check-in staff, were set to strike over the 10% pay reduction put in place during the pandemic. Earlier this summer, union members voted to strike after that cut was not reinstated.
