Heathrow: Don't cut our pay plea
Watch Unite's video on what's happening to Heathrow's workers
Reading time: 2 min
Last month Heathrow Airports Ltd (HAL) issued a section 188 notice beginning a process which could result in over 4,000 workers directly employed by the airport being fired and then rehired on vastly inferior contracts.
Many workers fear that they will be forced to sell their homes and cars or move to cheaper areas.
This video uses testimony from workers who for fear of reprisals have asked for their voices to be disguised.
HAL, which boasted that it had the resources to make it through the pandemic and whose chief executive was paid £2.6m in pay and pensions last year, says that the cuts to the wages of workers will be of a permanent rather than a temporary nature.
