Heathrow Airport staff are set to go on a 24-hour strike tomorrow Tuesday 1 December, over pay cuts.
The reports have it that the staff are set to walk out tomorrow, in the first of four strikes over savage wages cuts as the aviation industry struggle through the worst crisis in its history.
According to the spokesperson for Heathrow airport, All flights to / fro Heathrow are expected to operate as scheduled.
"No flights have been canceled as a result of tomorrow's strike and disruption is not expected." He added that Heathrow's contingency plans 'will keep the airport open and operating safely'.
On Tuesday, workers will stand in picket lines outside Unite's Heathrow office, while an ad van will tour the surrounding areas with posters attacking the airport's policies.
Heathrow's chief executive John Holland-Kaye will be portrayed as the Grinch, alongside the message: 'Heathrow Grinch CEO is stealing workers' wages'.
Other posters will read 'Heathrow's super-rich shareholders are jetting off with workers' wages' and 'Stop Heathrow's billionaire-backed wage cuts'.
Unite regional co-ordinating officer Wayne King said: 'Workers face losing their homes and surrendering their cars due to the savage cuts being imposed on them.
These cuts are all about greed and not need.
