Support striking Heathrow members on their latest action

More than 500 PCS members in Border Force at Heathrow airport are taking 3 days’ strike action this weekend in an ongoing dispute over a new roster that has been imposed.

The strike action is at the back end of the half term holidays - tomorrow (31) and Saturday and Sunday (1 and 2 June). It will be followed by 3 weeks of action short of a strike that will include a work to rule and overtime ban running from 4 to 25 June.

The officers, who work in terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, took 4 days’ action last month. They are taking action after managers imposed a new roster that has seen more than 250 staff losing their jobs or being moved on to other work against their will.

Those who remain are struggling with longer shifts, inflexible shift-swapping rules, no clarity on booking leave and no way to work around caring responsibilities. Read personal testimonies from the members.

Show your support by signing the new petition calling for a fair Border Force roster and share it on your socials and with your friends.

You can also show them your support at their picket line from 9.30am to 12.30pm at the Nene Roundabout (near the Ibis Styles hotel) tomorrow (31).

The strike action on 29, 30 April, 1 and 2 May was well supported and members were clearly in favour of further action should there be no movement from the Home Office.

The members are committed to the action and expect that their walkouts will
