Another display of stupidity by the union fossils. A strike is planned for Friday, 31 May 2013, but candidates are advised to turn up for tests as usual.
Remember that not all examiners are foolish enough to be members of the union and of those that are, they’re not so foolish that they will all take part in any strike action. Certainly around my way all tests appeared to go ahead during the last strike. However, be aware that the further north you travel, IQs seem to dip sharply, and so the desire to be involved in strike action does seem to be greater in these more northerly places.
There is also the possibility that the union will call off the strike at the last minute. It did that a few strikes ago, and all those who cancelled/changed their test dates did so needlessly.
Remember that it is not the DSA who is to blame here. It is an on going dispute over pensions, and it is affecting large parts of the civil service.
