Eurostar faces a walk out by cleaners in a dispute over jobs and using fingerprints to clock in staff.
Workers at St Pancras International in London plan to strike for 24 hours on six days – October 2, 4, 16, 18 and 30 and November 1.
The high speed Channel Tunnel passenger service said the industrial action would not disrupt trains from the station.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union reportedly claimed the treatment of cleaners, employed by a contractor, was "a national disgrace," according to the BBC.
