UK civil servants to walk out on March 15 budget day - union

LONDON – Britain’s civil servants have announced a new date for strike action with 100,000 members across England, Scotland and Wales planning to walk out on March 15, coinciding with the government’s Spring Budget, the PCS union said on Tuesday.

“(Prime Minister) Rishi Sunak can end this dispute tomorrow if he puts more money on the table. If he refuses to do that, more action is inevitable,” PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said.
