Arabnews24.ca:Tuesday 7 February 2023 12:33 PM: Over 100,000 civil servants are to strike on Budget Day in an escalation of a dispute over pay, pensions and job security.
The PCS union has announced a new strike date of 15 March, when Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is due to unveil his Budget.
It follows a strike last week that saw hundreds of thousands of members in 123 government departments walk out across England, Scotland and Wales.
The union warned that next month's strike could be joined by a further 33,000 members working for 10 more employers, including HMRC, whose ballot results are due on 28 February.
