A LONG-RUNNING dispute involving security officers at Heathrow airport ended today after workers voted to accept an improved pay offer.

More than 2,000 security officers at Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 and campus security were due to take 31 days of strike action throughout the summer.

But talks resumed, which Unite said led to an improved pay offer, and workers will now receive an increase of between 15.5 per cent and 17.5 per cent.
