Holiday-makers warned as staff at UK's Heathrow Airport announce strike action

Around 1,400 security staff at London's Heathrow Airport will take a further eight days of strike action next month in a dispute over pay, the Unite trade union said on Wednesday, potentially disrupting flights at Britain's busiest hub.

The strikes, scheduled for May 4-6, 9-10 and 25-27, follow a 10-day strike by security staff that ended earlier this month.
