Heathrow Border Force Workers Strike Over New Rosters

Over 300 members of the Public and Commercial Services Union at Heathrow are striking against job-threatening roster changes.

The four-day strike at Heathrow's Terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5 began early Monday and will continue until Friday morning.
Union claims the new rosters will lead to the loss of 250 jobs at passport control, affecting older and disabled workers disproportionately.
Home Office has not applied a new law to ensure minimum service during the strike, despite having plans to minimize disruption.
Additional strikes by refueling staff and other Heathrow workers are set for early May, potentially compounding travel disruptions.
Striking workers express severe dissatisfaction with the lack of support and coordination in implementing the new rosters.
