UK airport strikes could go on for months

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.

Mark Serwotka said the union had a “mandate” for walkouts up until May.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was “sad” about disruption caused by strikes, but said he had acted “fairly and reasonably” over public sector pay.

Thousands of travellers arriving in the UK had been told to expect delays but so far disruption has been minimal.
