Immigration and border force officers will walk off the job over a week as the public sector union ramps up strike action over pay negotiations.

The rolling stoppages will take place at international airports, cruise ship terminals and cargo facilities beginning on Monday, September 26, until Sunday, October 2.

"This will be strike action on a major scale, an unprecedented escalation to make government finally do something to end this 1000-day dispute," CPSU national secretary Nadine Flood said on Wednesday.
