Heathrow Border Force officers announce new strike
PCS members to take action on May 31, June 1 & 2 at terminals 2, 3, 4 & 5
More than 500 Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport are to take a further three days’ strike action.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union members will take action on May 31, June 1 and 2 over the imposition of a new roster system. They will also refuse to work overtime for three weeks from June 4.
The officers, who work in terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, took four days action last month.
PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “We are keen to resolve this dispute but the Home Office must first put something on the table for our members to consider.
“The Home Office has said it is ‘open to discuss’ a resolution but it only responded to our request for a meeting after we threatened further action.
“Until it comes back with changes to the roster that will benefit our members then the dispute will continue.”
