Airport strikes could go on for months, says union boss
Strikes by Border Force staff at UK airports could go on for months unless the government enters talks over pay, the head of the PCS union has said.Thousands of travellers arriving in the UK have been told to expect disruption over the festive period as passport control staff began strikes on Friday.The AA and RAC motoring groups said that Friday would be the busiest day on the roads this week, with an estimated 16.9 million journeys being made across the UK.
Meanwhile, 1,000 Border Force staff - many of whom check passports - are staging the first of a series of strikes from Friday to 26 December and from 28 to 31 December. Mr Serwotka said disruption for passengers was an "unfortunate reality" of the strikes but said any anger should be directed at the government, who he claimed had "ignored" the union.
