Civil servant strike action
Civil servants will stage a 24-hour strike on Budget day today, in a row over pay, pensions and working conditions.
Civil servants to go on strike
Members of the Public and Commercial Services Union which represents civil servants are on strike in a long running dispute. They're protesting against cuts to pensions and a pay freeze which they say has reduced their incomes by 20 per cent. A rally is planned in Plymouth at midday.
