THE Border Force and driving examiners went on strike today while the railways are set to be hit with more industrial action as large numbers of commuters returned to work following the Christmas break.

Border Force officers who are members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) working at Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow airports and the port of Newhaven are continuing strikes for four days.

The strikes by the Border Force are over jobs, conditions and pay amid the cost-of-living crisis.
