CIVIL servants will be balloted for strike action after their union PCS confirmed yesterday that ministers are using the spending review from 2015 to budget for a 1 per cent pay rise.
PCS said that the government has gone back on its promise to end low pay in its own departments.
Ministers have told union negotiators that any pay rises would have to come from individual departmental savings and cuts.
