Heathrow airport strike suspended after fresh offer say Unite The Heathrow airport strike due to begin tomorrow Thursday, July 21 has been suspended after Aviation Fuel Services (AFS) revised its offer. Unite the union involved in the strike , said that a revised pay offer had been received and that the strike would be suspended to allow members to be balloted on the new offer. The revised offer comes following negotiations held at the conciliation service ACAS earlier today, Wednesday, July 20. According to Unite a substantially improved offer was made and as a consequence, the strike was suspended. Unite Regional Officer Kevin Hall said on their website: “Unite has consistently said that AFS was capable of making an offer more likely to meet members’ expectations. Following the assistance of ACAS, an improved offer was made. “Members will now be given the time to consider and vote on the new offer.” The strike was originally called by workers employed at Aviation Fuel Services (AFS), which is responsible for refuelling half of the non-British Airways traffic at Heathrow airport affecting many airlines including Virgin Atlantic, United, Singapore, KLM, American, Emirates, Air France and Delta.
