Acas staff stage own strike
Hundreds of staff at conciliation service Acas, which helps to resolve industrial disputes, staged a one-hour strike yesterday in their own row over pay.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services union took the action in protest at a two per cent offer, complaining it was well below the rate of inflation, following a 10-month hold-up to last year's pay increase.
General secretary Mark Serwotka said: "It is ironic that the people who help resolve industrial disputes have themselves been pushed into taking industrial action... It is time that the Government reviewed its draconian pay policy and paid a fair wage to the people who keep this country working."
