RMT Press Office:
Heathrow Express staff will take 48 hours of strike action, from Monday, in response to a pay offer that was overwhelmingly rejected by members.
Despite mulitple attempts to resolve the dispute, members will take the action next week.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members at Heathrow Express have made their position clear with a strong mandate for action. They are determined to secure fair pay and better working conditions.
"Heathrow Express management must now recognise the serious concerns of the workforce and return to the table with a meaningful offer."
The union remains open to further negotiations, calling on Heathrow Express management to improve their offer and avoid ongoing disruption.
