What are security guards saying about pay at Heathrow Airport?

  • Best thing

    You get long breaks that are paid I’m talking 3 hours- 6 hours a day due to flight delays and flight schedules

    Worst thing

    Comparing my pay with others I believe our managers should have a pay rise and another con is there is no staff benefit because it’s an agency
