Tens of thousands of "angry" civil servants are set to go on strike next month - causing chaos at airports and across the Home Office in a dispute over pay and pensions.
Today the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) announced that action would begin in mid-December after talks with the Cabinet Office failed to yield an agreement.
Workers at Home Office, Border Force, Department for Transport and Defra previously voted to walkout after being faced with a real-terms pay cut.
