More civil servants to strike on Budget day
Strike action by civil servants on the day of the Budget has been escalated, with 33,000 more workers planning to walk out, a union has said. The additional civil servants who voted to join colleagues include staff at HMRC, the Care and Quality Commission and the Welsh government. The government has said the union's demands would cost an "Unaffordable £2.4bn". Civil servants have been offered a 2% to 3% increase. The government has previously said public sector pay needs to strike balance between "Recognising the vital importance of public sector workers, while delivering value for taxpayers" and avoiding fuelling more inflation. The government has been contacted for comment over the latest strike action.
