Members of the PCS union based at Heathrow airport will walk out for four days.
Hundreds of Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport will launch a four-day strike on Monday in a dispute over working conditions.
The union said the workers, based at Heathrow’s terminals two, three, four and five, are taking action in protest at plans to introduce new rosters they claim would see around 250 of them forced out of their jobs at passport control. “None of our dedicated and highly-experienced members in the Border Force want to take strike action but the way they’ve been treated by their employer leaves them with no option.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “We are disappointed with the union’s decision to strike but remain open to discussing a resolution with the PCS.
