The Public and Commercial Services union on Wednesday (7 December) confirmed Border Force workers would walk out for eight days over 23-26 December and 28-31 December in a dispute over pay pensions, jobs and redundancy.
Action will take place at six UK airports – Birmingham, Cardiff, Gatwick, Glasgow, Heathrow (Terminals 2-5) and Manchester – as well as at the Port of Newhaven. Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the PCS union, said the strikes would have a "major effect" on people using the UK’s public services.
