The two main trade unions with members in the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) are escalating their industrial action, with one announcing two new strike dates in May and June. #planning #PINS planningresource.co.uk/article/182071…

📢 Civil servants need a fair deal 📢 Ahead of next week's public sector strike action, Prospect reps met to discuss our dispute over pay and conditions.

A graphic illustration from the Institute for Government on what has happened to pay in the civil service over more than a decade. No wonder many areas are plagued by recruitment and retention problems. This is why many of our members are striking in this coming week.

Looking forward to Wed 10th May when Prospect Union Civil Servants will be out on strike again for fair pay. ✊ Time for a pay rise that not only helps workers, but helps departments recruit & retain staff & deliverer our critical public tasks. #CivilService #ProspectStrike

This action was avoidable, but failure by government to make a comparable offer to elsewhere in the public sector has made it inevitable - Mike Clancy 📢 On Wednesday, Prospect members in the public sector are striking over pay & conditions #ProspectStrike

Solidarity with #britishlibrary and all Prospect Union workers striking today! ✊#prospectstrike

Our General Secretary Mike Clancy spoke to Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today about why our members in the public sector are taking strike action #ProspectStrike 📻

“We want to see the whole civil service pay system reformed because it's not fit for purpose, it doesn't work for civil servants, it doesn't work for the civil service in terms of trying to recruit and retain people” - Amy Leversidge civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…
