It’s been reported this afternoon that:
Senior civil servants have voted by 4-1 in favour of industrial action over the Government’s controversial pension reforms, increasing the prospect of a strike by millions of workers at the end of the month, it has been announced.
The FDA union said that in a 54% turnout of members, 81% were in favour of industrial action and it was likely they will now be called on to strike as part of the TUC’s day of action on November 30.
The union, which represents 18,000 senior civil and public servants, including tax inspectors, special advisers, government lawyers, crown prosecutors and diplomats, said the Government needed to reflect why such senior staff felt driven to vote to strike.
The evidence that this is a government wholly out of touch with reality mounts by the day. I think this move unprecedented.
