The PCS union said it expects the walkouts to disrupt passport checks for travellers coming into the UK. Airport bosses said they will work with the Home Office on contingency plans to minimise delays.
More strikes have been announced by Border Force staff at Heathrow Airport at the back end of half term. The strike action will take place on 31 May and 1 and 2 June. It will be followed by three weeks of action short of a strike, including staff working to rule and a ban on overtime running from 4 until 25 June. More than 500 members of the PCS union will take part in the strikes, which come following a dispute over a new staff roster.
'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.
