so many strikes, can’t remember this many in my lifetime (born in the 90s).
was this how thatcher’s downfall began?
Civil servants should probably be paid more, their jobs should be rigorously analysed for waste. State spending should be used efficiently.
Good, every public sector worker should be striking after continual below inflation pay since 2008. Goodwill is gone.
I’ve never understand so why civil servants stay in their jobs.
Once you go over to the private sector you realise just poorly treated and undervalued public sector employees are.
As a former senior NHS & DHSC employee my advice to every competent or well qualified public sector employee is leave.
Go to the private sector. If you can join an consultancy and go back for a better salary and terms.
People don’t realise how wide spread Civil servant jobs are and how much of the structure of this country would collaps without them.
Genuine question where the fuck do people think money comes from? You increase wage you increase inflation you don’t see any of the money that you demanded.
My friend joined the Brexit department back in 2017 wonder if he’s striking now
Civil servants are enablers of government corruption, more so than the electorate. You implemented austerity, but expect to be shielded from it?
The government (especially people like Rees Mogg and Braverman) have spent a shedload of time trashing the civil service and blaming them for “Brexit not working”. I’m glad they’re going on strike, they really DO need better working conditions than those bullies.
“Unaffordable £2.4 billion.” Was it more affordable when your cunt friends spunked £30 billion in a day trying to give unearned tax breaks to their friends?
>The government said their demands would cost an “unaffordable £2.4bn”.
How long before there’s an article about a useless government scheme coming into play that barely anyone will benefit from, that costs £10bn+ ?

I’m a civil servant and absolutely support the strikes.
But they need to be a lot more targeted. I’m in a needed role, without me the organisation would run into problems.
But those problems wouldn’t start to manifest for a few weeks and wouldn’t noticeably impact the public, although it would severely and negatively impact individuals which means for me to go on strike for a day its just a day’s pay lost and more work when I come back.
That’s not to say I don’t go on strike, I’ve been on the first 2. But the unions need to be coordinating and going on strike for weeks at a time in departments where people will notice almost immediately.
So HMRC, Border Force, Passport Office (they’ve got a 3 weeker coming up), DVLA, DVSA etc.
Every single sector that can unionise and strike should do it. Our government has abandoned the people and have enabled some of the worst corporate profiteering in living memory over the last 12 to 13 years. There needs to be a correction and a re-establishment of the status quo, where big business did business here and didn’t rampantly overcharge our public for the same or worse service/product and pay its staff so little.
*No, I don’t like Jeremy Corbyn.*
As an ex civil servant who left last year who was gunning for this I am absolutely thrilled with this news. Pay was pittance and literally no way of going up the pay scale without swapping jobs (I got a role as an internal candidate, lowest grade point to start, my job partner was an external candidate with years of experience, lowest grade point to start, cos apparently thems be the rules). I did so much more day to day with them than any other job I’ve been in, which was fantastic worker efficiency, but I can do way less responsibility for like £5k more a year (what I’m doing now) lol so like…. who would
I can’t believe we still have servants in this country I thought we were past slavery in the UK.
If there’s anything I’ve learnt from the civil service subreddit appearing on my feed, it is definitely never aim to work in the civil service.
Also, thank you everyone who does
You can strike all you want but you can’t extract blood from a stone.
I think perspective would help but that would require acknowledging that the 90s through today were very, very good times for organized labour and that good times do not last forever.
Due to the implicit corruption within the police, courts and goverments, actions have now been taken by the public to resolve these issues
On June 21st a collective of the public are going to perform arrests on boris johnson, rishi sunak and multiple others. They will be held trial publicly at speakers corner, any police or civil servant workers interfering will also be publicly identified and detained for being complicit in genocide and corruption. All financial dealings will be exposed, all the orchestraters and authority that has been followed will be identified and sentenced appropriately.
We are not paying any form of tax until it is an operational democratic republic run by the people.
We are going to become a United Republic and redistribute the land and wealth that was stolen from us by the German colonialist sax-coburg-gotha “windsor” family.
There will be a parcel of land for every family name.
We will not have a debt based economy controlled by other countries.
You are all invited and everyone is included, if you live on this corrupt island we’re about to make food shelter and water a human right indefinitely, WE, the authority are going to end slavery for good, join us in the tracking and detainment of these criminals or show your strength and solidarity by arriving at their place of residences and lavish work buildings you’ve paid for on the 21st,but as a show of strength and to avoid agentuers sabotaging protests, please remain entirely silent and still, say nothing, do not grace them with any reception of the lies they will tell.
Let the vision of a silent and united mass of people waiting patiently for justice and conviction strike fear into the very core of these people.
We have 3 months and expect them to make efforts to flee and defend themselves, they are not expecting to be held accountable or have to return funds (Michelle mone/yacht, Boris Johnsons moated house) so we expect to have to confiscate their means of escape and mobilise us, the provider of all their services to hamper them, you have the right to refuse service to anybody, you can protest in any way shape or form, you could suddenly become incompetent at issuing plane tickets to corrupt individuals, as a police officer you could consider the security of your future over the security of a politician. There are many ways to be involved, contribute what your best at and every single one of you is important, this is the new way.
Get involved, donate a quid, no corporate funding, pure people, pure grassroots. Dm for details and get in the loop.
We will change this country for good and show the rest of the world what can be achieved, we are a proud, resourceful and industrious nation, we have the power to beat this.
