Police staff to be balloted for strikes
CIVILIAN police staff in England and Wales will be balloted for industrial action in protest at a “miserly” 1 per cent pay offer.
Unions said staff were angry at the real-terms pay cuts imposed across the public sector.
They are demanding a 3 per cent pay rise for police staff as well as a 3 per cent increase in allowances.
