More than 2,000 security workers at Europe’s busiest airport are taking part in the walkouts.

Security guards at London’s Heathrow Airport have postponed a 31-day strike after receiving an improved pay offer.

Staff were set to strike from 24 June. They have now called off the first two days of the strike (24-25 June) to give union members time to vote on the latest pay deal.

The remaining 29 days of strikes will still go ahead if the pay offer is rejected.

More than 2,000 members of the Unite union are set to take part in the walkouts at Europe’s busiest airport.

Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport in London stands empty of passengers as staff standby to help.
