A colourful picket today as we were joined by Prospect union members from British Geographical Survey. Prospect members at over 30 Civil and Public Service employer voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action to defend against pay cuts and job insecurity. It is the largest action in over a decade by members who have seen a real term reduction in income of over 25% in this time.

The protests over fair pay and a decent pension continued at the Mound afterwards in a joint rally with the Public and Commercial Services Union.
