Border Force strikes could last for months

Tuesday, 23 Dec, 2022 0

As Border Force strikes begin at UK airports, a union official says disruption could linger for months.

PCS official Mark Serwotka says the union has a mandate for industrial action until May.

Inbound travellers have been warned to expect disruption over Christmas.

About 1,000 Border Force staff have walked out at six airports.

It affects Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow airports.

Serwotka said the disruption is an ‘unfortunate reality’ of members’ strike action.

“I think you will see a huge escalation of this action in the civil service,” he said.

Strikes are a ‘last resort’ he said.

Over 500 flights are scheduled to touch down at Heathrow today.

Heathrow says departing flights are likely to operate on time as planned.
