But their employer Heathrow Airport Limited went back to the negotiating table following the announcement and Unite members voted to accept a new and improved pay offer.Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: ‘This was a hard won victory which demonstrates what can be achieved when workers stand together and take action together.

‘The pay deal at Heathrow is a further demonstration of how Unite’s complete focus on jobs, pay and conditions is having direct benefits for its members.’
