Citius Altius Fortius Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I just heared that the union of the border guards is planning a strike in Heathrow on Thursday - has somebody better information about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissO Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, it is confirmed; This is in the news here in Uk since mid last week ! Some people says that will have no impact... some other predict some queues at the borders (but that is usual !!! isn't it?) PM hopes it will be cancelled.... http://www.world-first.co.uk/home/news/cameron-hits-out-at-strike-plans$48140.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah, gotta say, it is a pretty low act by those unions to jump into Olympic blackmail. Can't help but think there could be a certain irony, that it was striking unions who marred the IOC evaluation commission to Paris in the 2012 race. It may not have affected any votes, but ...
