GLASGOW Airport has issued a statement after it was announced Border Force staff will go on strike later this month.
Staff will go on strike for eight days after the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) opened a strike ballot to members last month.
Industrial action is taking place because of a dispute over pay, pensions, jobs, and redundancy terms and will see Border Force staff will go on strike at Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff airport from December 23 until December 31.
The action will see members not fulfill duties like passport checks for those arriving in the UK.

A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport said: "We are aware of the proposed industrial action and are liaising with Border Force to understand their contingency plans and to ensure any disruption is minimal."
