There may be a one day UK civil service and public sector strike strike on 10 November, hitting passports, Jobcentres, Tax Credits, immigration and customs, as well as driving licences, coastguards, driving tests and museums.
"There is a three week opportunity to avoid damaging industrial action, where the government can pay heed to the Bank of England's warning on the economic consequences that the squeeze on wages is having." Mark Serwotka, PCS general secretary.
The one day strike, which will be followed by an overtime ban throughout the civil service, comes as civil and public servants across the UK face mounting pressure on their finances as a result of the government's public sector pay cap.
