The PCS union said more than 500 of its members working on passport control at terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, are taking action from Friday.
Hundreds of Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport will launch a three-day strike on Friday in a dispute over rosters.
The Public and Commercial Services union said more than 500 of its members working on passport control at terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 are taking action in protest at new rosters being imposed. The union said more than 250 staff face losing their jobs or being moved on to other work against their will. Those who remain will have longer shifts, inflexible shift-swapping rules, no clarity on booking leave and no way to work around caring responsibilities, the PCS claimed.PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “We call on all trade unionists and the public to support this petition and tell Border Force management to scrap this unwelcome and unworkable roster that has already caused misery to our members.
“PCS has repeatedly called for more flexibility in the new roster but management has refused to listen.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
