Today, Unite announced 41 strikes at Heathrow Airport for the spring would begin on 2 April, continue over 23 days, and the final action to be on 25th April.
The strikes are part of a "bitter dispute" following the airport operator's decision to fire-and-rehire its 4,000-strong workforce.
Almost all the stakeholders, engineering, landside operations, airside operations, fire service, campus security & central terminal operations are part of the strike.
Each of those sectors would take seven days of strike action, and during the period, at least one sector would be on strike on most days.
On rehire, the workers were facing pay cuts of up to £8,000, or 25% or earnings.
Unite argures, if the employment aimed at making savings due to the pandemic, pay cuts would have been temporary, rather than permanent.
Now, the strike action is expected to linger, following a recent decision by Heathrow Airport Holdings to not pay a worker for a complete shift if the worker was on strike for any of that shift.
"These strike days are avoidable, yet Heathrow is not listening," said Unite regional coordinating officer Wayne King.
