It comes after PCS members returned an average Yes vote for industrial action across the areas balloted of 86.2%, the highest percentage vote in the union’s history.
According to the union, the Cabinet Office did not make any proposals that addressed its demands for a 10% pay rise, pensions justice, job security and no cuts to redundancy terms.
As a result, the union’s elected national executive committee (NEC) agreed an initial programme of strike action in the Home Office, including the Border Force, across the Department for Transport and in Defra, affecting ports, borders and all areas of transport.
