The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) announced on 11 January that its executive committee had agreed to call a one-day strike on 1 February of all members in employers where the turnout passed the 50% threshold required by law for action. See list of voting turnout

The list of departments that reached the 50% threshold and voted for strike action include Land Registry, Serious Fraud Office, Legal Aid Agency, Government Legal Department, Parole Board, Youth Justice Board and Courts and Tribunals Judiciary.

PCS said the strike will be the largest civil service strike for years, with 100,000 members expected on picket lines.

The PCS said in a statement:

“As the cost-of-living crisis worsens, with inflation at nearly 11%, members are saying they’ve had enough of being treated appallingly.

“Our campaign is for a 10% pay rise, pensions justice, job security and no cuts in redundancy terms.”

This week, on 24th January, the PCS further announced "No Resolution" to strike action unless their pay and working conditions were addressed. 

"PCS has today written to Cabinet Office minister Jeremy Quin to say there will be no resolution to the current industrial action unless the government addresses this year’s pay crisis."
