Border Force staff at Heathrow Airport will begin a four-day strike on Saturday over inflexible rosters.
Around 650 members of the Public and Commercial Services union will walk out amid complaints that new rosters are inflexible.The PCS union reported that 80% of Heathrow Border Force workers experience work-related stress, and over a quarter have taken time off due to stress or mental health issues since the new rosters were introduced in April.
General secretary Fran Heathcote said: 'This survey shows how badly our members' wellbeing is being affected by the new roster system. 'Managers could easily resolve the issue by allowing greater flexibility and by agreeing fixed shifts that give our members the chance to plan their caring responsibilities.'
