For immediate release
Responding to the civil service union voting to strike, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Civil servants shouldn’t expect sympathy for their strikes from the working taxpayers who pay their wages.
“Bureaucrats already benefit from generous pay packets and plush pensions, with job perks and work from home privileges that many Brits can only dream of.
“The chancellor must hold the line and ensure households are not forced to cough up for pay rises well above their own.”
