It was announced last week that more than 1,000 Passport Office workers will strike for five weeks from April 3 until May 5 as holidaymakers are warned of a "significant impact" on passport delivery as summer looms.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union announced the "significant" escalation in industrial action and accused the Government of failing to engage in "meaningful" talks.
