Border Force workers at several major British airports including the country's busiest, London's Heathrow, will go on strike for several days over the Christmas period in a dispute over pay, the PCS trade union said on Wednesday.
The union said staff employed by Britain's interior ministry, the Home Office, in passport booths would take action at Heathrow and Gatwick airports as well as Birmingham Airport, Cardiff Airport, Glasgow Airport, Manchester Airport and the Port of Newhaven.
The union's General Secretary Mark Serwotka said around 2,000-3,000 staff would be involved in the walk outs on December 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 31.
A Heathrow spokesperson said the airport was working with airlines and Border Force on plans to mitigate disruption.
