Ofwat staff vote for strike action over abolition uncertainty

By Anthony at GridteamAI

PCS union members at Ofwat voted 73.72% in favour of strike action and 91.3% for action short of a strike, on an 89.38% turnout, after more than a year without clarity on jobs and civil service status as the government moves to abolish the regulator and create its replacement. The union is seeking urgent assurances from Ofwat's employer, Defra and the Welsh Government before deciding on escalation.
