Passengers at UK airports have been threatened with more disruption next year after a union said the strike by Border Force officials is likely to be the first of many.
Workers kicked off eight days of walkouts stretching to New Year’s Eve, with the Public and Commercial Services Union demanding higher pay and more job security for its members. Mark Serwotka, the PCS general secretary, warned of “a huge escalation of this action†in 2023.
Still, there was some reprieve as baggage handlers at London’s Heathrow airport called off strikes that was expected to last until New Year’s Day. Members of Unite accepted a pay offer from Menzies Aviation which the union said represented a 9.5% rise backdated to May 2022 and then a further 1% from January.
