Civil Service unions' court case to be heard in October
by Sam Tobin at the High Court
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
LEGAL action brought by three Civil Service unions against the government’s alleged failure to consult over a new pay cap will be heard in October.
The FDA, Prospect and PCS – representing 200,000 civil servants – announced earlier this month that they were seeking a judicial review of the government’s new 1.5 per cent pay cap.
By contrast, other public-sector workers, including teachers, doctors and police officers, were awarded pay increases of up to 3.5 per cent in July.
