British Airlines grounds Heathrow flights

LONDON, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- British Airlines grounded all flights Thursday from London Heathrow as catering workers stage a walkout.

At least 30 short-haul flights were canceled after baggage handlers, loaders and bus drivers walked out in support of workers for Gate Gourmet, which supplies in-flight meals.

Hundreds Gate Gourmet workers were fired Wednesday after they had an unofficial strike the same day over BA's plans to restructure.
