Hundreds of Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport go on strike from the end of the month.

The 650 members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union will be on strike from August 31 to September 3, then working-to-rule and refusing to work overtime until September 22.

The long-running dispute centres on enforced changes to terms and conditions – including the introduction of inflexible rosters – and began in April.

Many strikes have been threatened in the last years but few have materialised as management acceded to demands.
