The staff who work in the British Department of Business and Energy Building will start strikes the same day as the new prime minister in the country being named next week, a public service trade union said on Thursday.
Cleansers, security guards, reception workers, letter staff and others in the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategies (BEIS) will come out on September 5 and 6 due to health, safety, and other rights.
That action is “a sign of the future” for the next prime minister, said the public and commercial service union (PCS). The new British leader is expected to be named on September 5 and officially start working on September 6.
“Our members in all civil service are increasingly angry and desperate because the government does nothing to alleviate the crisis of living costs,” said PCS Secretary General Mark Serwotka. Staff who are striking are in the outsourcing contract, not direct government employees.
The next British leader will take over power during the intense industrial riots with union trade that attacks various industries because of the soaring fuel that surge in demands for higher wages and better working conditions at the same time when the state faces a recession.
Liz Truss, a pioneer to replace Boris Johnson as the British Prime Minister, said he would bring “hard and determine” to limit the strike by the union if he became a leader.
The union said the strike was caused by the failure of ISS, a company that employs outsourcing workers, to implement health and safety protocols and “place PCS members at unacceptable risks”.
