The national executive of the Civil and Public Serv Ices Association, the largest of the Civil Service unions, has announced its intention of calling a one-day strike on November 17th.
The strike, which will be accompanied by an overtime ban, is in protest against Government spending cuts and in particular the planned run-down in Civil Service manpower over the next three years.
The decision, by 16 votes to 10, clearly reflects the growing concern amongst Civil Servants at the threa posed to their jobs by the Labou Government's intention to cut bac on 46,000 jobs as part of il massive programme of cuts i public spending.
However, a one-day stike wi not in itself be sufficient to sto the proposed cuts.
Immediately the Civil Servic unions must black all work arisin from the failure of Civil Servic departments to replace staff wh have left.
Preparations must also be mad for all out national strike actio as the only way in which the cu can be successfully fought.
