Civil servants to join 2 million-strong July 10 strike

CIVIL servants will swell the ranks of two million public-sector workers on the picket lines next week, union PCS confirmed yesterday.

The union’s executive called members out for July 10 following a massive mandate for strike action over the coalition’s desultory 1 per cent pay offer.

Civil servants voted 73.7 per cent on a 24 per cent turnout to join the mass walkout over Con-Dem poverty pay.
