Public Sector Workers To Strike

Jersey's civil servants will strike next week in an ongoing row over pay.

Union members met last night and voted overwhelmingly in favour of a two-hour walkout next Friday.

Terry Renouf, from JSCA Prospect, says it's just the first in a series of planned strikes.

It's the latest development in an ongoing row between unions and the States Employment Board over below-inflation pay offers made to civil servants for 2018-19.

Last week a revised offer was made to nurses and manual workers, but the contested deal was imposed on civil servants, teachers, and uniformed services

JCSA Propect members are working-to-rule from today.

Teaching unions are balloting on industrial action.
