Heathrow Airport Problems: Workers Might Stop Working; Watch Out!
Heathrow Airport is in trouble, and people planning holidays may be disappointed. Employees seem to be on the brink of protesting over the upcoming bank holiday weekend, meaning air passengers are in for a lot of trouble.
The workers who fuel the planes are the ones thinking about striking. They plan to work for a company called AFS, which is controlled by some really big oil and gas corporations. These workers who amend rules in AFS that are not good for them, are furious.
According to the union that represents those workers, Unite, if they go on a labor strike, there may be some severe flight cancellations or delays. Some people are anxious because AFS will lower the benefits for new workers and ultimately pay less when they are sick or on retirement.
Union President Sharon Graham is ultimately quite distressed by the idea. She states that the union considers the new employees to be unfairly treated, so the union should defend them. Another union leader named Kevin Hall also points out that they must fight now or a bleak future is destined for them.
So, if you're planning to fly out of Heathrow Airport soon, pay close attention to what is being reported in the media. A major leap forward is about to take place, and it will almost certainly affect your touring schedule.
