STRIKES BACK ON AS PCS AND NUT AGREE TO BALLOT FOR STRIKE ACTION
Public services union PCS and teaching union NUT today agreed to set a date for the next round of public sector strikes to defend pensions. According to union sources the executives of both the NUT and the PCS agreed unanimously to ballot members for strike action on the 28th of march.
This follows yesterdays announcement by Unite's committee for civil service that they would co-ordinate action with other unions over pensions. This is a huge step forward in the on going battle between the government and public sector workers.
Many workers hope the decision by the NUT and PCS to ballot members will lead the way to other unions taking action to defend there members pensions. This is a matter of great urgency as members will start seeing money taken from their pay packets very shortly.
