Emigration Officials Call off Worker Strike

The threat of a strike involving emigration officials has finally come to an end. The news comes in from the emigration officials' union after they were able to reach an agreement with management over changes in the work place this past Monday.

The 24-hour strike, which was planned for this Wednesday, was only called off after the negotiations resulted in an agreement that both sides could agree on. No details have been announced about the agreement thus far, but details could be announced later on.

The strike was going to include 1,200 emigration officials who work for the UK Border Agency. These are the same officials that are responsible for passport control at Britain's many airports and ports. The threat was aimed to disrupt travel during this very busy holiday period for the UK.

The dispute that took place between the emigration officials and management was over job content, shifts, and working practices. The union that was representing the emigration officials said that management wanted emigration officers to take on some customs duties. The union argued that its members should be given a choice on whether they would like to take on the new role or not.

The strike would have come at a time when the UK is really trying to crack down on its emigration policies and border protection. The UK government has already come up with a new point based emigration system. This is just one of the many steps that the UK government has done to protect its borders, and more measurements are sure to come soon.
