UK passport office workers launch five-week stoppage, the latest walkout in strike-hit Britain as the country reels from worst cost of living crisis in a generation
UK passport office workers launched a five-week stoppage, the latest walkout in strike-hit Britain as the country reels from the worst cost of living crisis in a generation.
The UK has been hit by a wave of industrial action across the economy in recent months ranging from ambulance staff and rail staff to doctors, teachers and dock workers. Ministers had failed to "hold any meaningful talks" with civil servants despite negotiations having been opened with unions representing health workers and teachers, PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said.
"They seem to think if they ignore our members, they'll go away. But how can our members ignore the cost-of-living crisis when 40,000 civil servants are using foodbanks and 45,000 of them are claiming the benefits they administer themselves?" he added.More than 1,000 members of the PCS civil servants union are due to take part in the walkout with picket lines mounted outside eight sites.
