Airport workers announce Christmas strikes

Border Force workers across UK airports and ports will take strike action on key dates in December, as its union calls for the government to come back to the negotiating table.

Strikes will take place between 23rd and 26th December, and from 28th to 31st December, impacting Birmingham, Cardiff, Gatwick, Glasgow, Heathrow, Manchester airports, as well as the Port of Newhaven.

General Secretary of the union, Mark Serwotka, said 40,000 of its members were having to use food banks, while 45,000 were claiming work benefits.
