The Border Force officers are unhappy over changes to roles and shift patterns, the PCS union says.
Hundreds of Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport will stage a three-day strike from Friday in a dispute over rosters.
The Public and Commercial Services Union said more than 500 of its members working on passport control at Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 weare taking action. The union said more than 250 staff faced losing their jobs or being moved to other work against their will. Those who remain will have longer shifts, inflexible shift-swapping rules, no clarity on booking leave and no way to work around caring responsibilities, the PCS said.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are disappointed with the union’s decision to strike but remain open to discussing a resolution with PCS Union."PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “We call on all trade unionists and the public to support this petition and tell Border Force management to scrap this unwelcome and unworkable roster that has already caused misery to our members.
