The UK government is facing “sustained industrial action” by civil servants after roughly 100,000 union members working for the civil service voted to strike in a dispute over pay, pensions, and jobs.

The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) stated on Nov. 10 that the legal threshold for industrial action had been reached in 126 separate areas, covering workers ranging from driving test examiners to Border Force officials.
