Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Immigration staff at busiest UK airports to strike over Christmas” – below is their description.
UK Border Force staff plan to go on strike at airports across the country during the busy Christmas period in a dispute over pay, one of the United Kingdom’s biggest trade unions said, as it warned that travellers will face severe disruptions.
Border Force workers at several major British airports – including the country’s busiest, London’s Heathrow – will walk off the job for eight days, from December 23 to 31, the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union said on Wednesday.
The strikes are part of spiralling instances of industrial action by railway workers, nurses, ambulance drivers and teachers.
