Dispute mediator votes for strike
Staff at labour conciliation service Acas have voted to go on strike in a row over pay.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) voted by almost two to one for a rolling programme of one-hour strikes. Union members say the service failed to make a pay offer last year.
Publicly-funded Acas works to resolve workplace disputes. Unions warn that failure to resolve its own workplace dispute could embarrass the government. [BBC]
