Domestic trips and travel to Europe could be disrupted due to ongoing disputes over pay and working conditions
May half term is less than a week away for many families and it will coincide with industrial action by Border Force officers atat Heathrow on 31 May, 1 June and 2 June over the introduction of a new roster system. PCS union members will also refuse to work overtime for three weeks starting 4 June.
During the last Border Force strikes, Heathrow assured passengers that contingency plans were in place to minimise disruption.In February, members of the Aslef train drivers’ union voted to continue striking until at least August 2024. More industrial action is likely until a deal on pay, job security and working conditions is reached. No further dates have been scheduled since the last walkouts earlier this month.
Following a rule change last year, French air traffic controllers must give at least 48 hours’ notice before going on strike. This did not stop strikes going ahead, however. There were more than 60 days of industrial action by French air traffic controllers in 2023.
