United Kingdom - Civil servants vote on collective action as cuts spread - March 22, 2011

PCS, the civil service union, reports that around a third of its members in different government departments are currently voting on industrial action in response to a range of threats to jobs and working conditions as pressure mounts from public sector spending cuts. The union may also ballot for national industrial action over cuts and proposed changes to public sector pensions. This could be co-ordinated with other public sector unions. About 80,000 PCS members are already being balloted, notably in the HM Revenue and Customs and the Home Office.
