Industrial action is called off

The UK Border Agency can confirm that the trade union ISU will not be taking industrial action at the UK border this Thursday and Friday.

UK Border Agency chief executive Lin Homer said:

'The ISU has confirmed that the industrial action planned for 23/24 September will now no longer go ahead, following the union agreeing a proposal put forward by management. We are pleased that this decision has been taken, but we always have contingency plans in place to ensure the UK border will not be compromised by any industrial action.'
