FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Union, which represents 4,500 border guards nationwide, said it intends to stage industrial action next Thursday in a row over pensions, British media reports said.
Passengers suffering from long queues at Heathrow airport will sustain a double blow as they are required to allocate more time for each and every trip in the airport.
The move, which is intended to form part of a wider public sector strike, could see hundreds of staff at Heathrow walk out, adding to delays at passport control.
“We don’t want to cause disruption, but if the Cabinet Office continues to ignore our concerns over pensions then that is what we are going to do”, said Lucy Moreton, the deputy general secretary of the Immigration Services Union.
“We have hundreds of members at Heathrow so it will have a significant impact”, the official added.
The dispute centers on the government’s intention to leave border staff with a flexible retirement age instead of pegging it at 65. Moreton said that could force them to continue working until their late sixties or even 70 as the state retirement age rose.
The Public and Commercial Services Union also represents border staff at Heathrow and other airports and is planning to strike next week.
“We will be striking and it will either cause more delays or lead to untrained staff waving people through without proper checks”, said its spokesman Richard Simcox.
