Pay Cap Decisively Rejected By PCS Union Members In Ballot

In the run-up to the government budget, members of civil servants’ union PCS have delivered a stinging rejection of the Tories’ pay policy, and shown that they are more than willing to take action to overturn it.

The consultative ballot consisted of two questions:

“Do you agree that the pay cap should be scrapped; and that funds should be made available to provide you with an above inflation pay rise?”

And “if the government refuse to scrap the pay cap, are you prepared to take part in industrial action?”
