Might be able to get to that one.
100,000 civil servants are to strike on 1 February, the Public and Commercial Services union has announced.
Union members in 124 government departments along with several other bodies will walk out.
the NHS pay review body (NHSPRB) and the review body on doctors’ and dentists’ remuneration (DDRB) have been brought into question…
Unions representing more than 1 million nurses, ambulance workers and other personnel have refused to submit joint evidence in the usual way to the NHSPRB about the pay for 2023/24 unless ministers first settle the bitter dispute over this year’s salary increase that has triggered a wave of strikes.
The British Medical Association, the main doctors’ trade union, said it was also taking similar action and would not submit evidence to the DDRB because “the process is rigged from the start”.
TUC planning to do… something?
The TUC will hold a national ‘protect the right to strike’ day on Wednesday 1 February.
The announcement comes following a meeting of trade union leaders today.
Events will take place in different parts of the country against the Conservative’s new anti-strike legislation.
And members of the public will be invited to show their support for workers taking action to defend their pay and conditions.
More information will be provided in the coming weeks about planned activities.
Well, ok, nought like determined action…

The US Supreme Court to decide on strikes
The Supreme Court Is About to Eviscerate the Right to Strike
At stake is a 64-year-old precedent that shields workers and unions from state lawsuits while they pursue unfair labor practice claims in the federal National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). If unions have to defend against costly lawsuits, it will likely discourage them from going on strike.
In a sign of what to be expected if the anti-strike law arrives , the CWU has had to cancel its forthcoming strike because of Royal Mail threatening legal action on a technicality.
