Staff at the Department for Education and Ofsted will go on strike on the day of the government’s spring budget, in a second day of action over pay and job security.
The Public and Commercial Services union has announced walk-outs on March 15 across 123 government departments in England, Scotland and Wales.
The strike coincides with the government’s budget day and planned National Education Union teacher strikes in England.
DfE and Ofsted staff walked out last week, joining teachers in the biggest co-ordinated strike for a decade.
