650 UK border force staff at Heathrow Airport will strike from August 31 to September 3, affecting travelers during a peak period, over changes to terms and conditions.
650 UK border force staff at Heathrow Airport, the UK's busiest, will strike from August 31 to September 3, affecting travelers during a peak period. The strike action is part of an ongoing dispute over changes to terms and conditions, including new inflexible rosters, and will be followed by work-to-rule and overtime refusal until September 22. The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union represents the staff members, who are concerned about the lack of flexibility and changes to shifts following the implementation of the new roster. The Home Office remains committed to resolving the issue, while Heathrow has previously managed to avoid major disruptions during past strikes by collaborating closely with the border force.
