An airline has warned passengers that their experience may “take a little longer than usual” as Border Force staff plan to walk out on Wednesday, February 1. Jet2 issued the advice to customers, stating that their flights would be operating as normal.
Tomorrow up to 100,000 members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) will strike in another long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions. Border Force staff are among those in government departments taking part in the strike action.
The government’s initial offer of a two per cent pay rise was rejected by the union for being well below the soaring rate of inflation. Now the PCS is seeking a pay rise of 10 per cent, the LiverpoolEcho reports.
