The trade union Unite said around 800 of its members will launch a week of strikes from May 7-13. The union claimed that workers in passenger services, who assist travellers to catch connecting flights, trolley operations and security guards, will have their jobs outsourced by June. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Heathrow Airport's actions are deplorable. It is raking in massive profits for the bosses while trying to squeeze every last penny out of its workforce. 'Unite is fully focused on defending its members' jobs, pay and conditions, and our members at Heathrow will receive the union's unrelenting support during this dispute.'

There are no job losses as a result of these changes, and we continue to discuss with Unite the implementation of these changes for the small number of colleagues impacted. 'Unite's threats of potential industrial action are unnecessary, and customers can be reassured that we will keep the airport operating smoothly, just like we have in the past.'
