The fossils in the PCS union<\/a> have got yet more strikes on the way – three in quick succession, this time (it\u2019s like when children get more and more naughty until someone takes notice of them).<\/p>\n

Planned dates are 1st and 15th of February and 1st March – all in the afternoon. This time, though, the first date covers England, Scotland, and Wales, the second date just England and Scotland, and the last date just Wales (I bet the flip charts were steaming when they worked that one out).<\/p>\n

In the link above, the DSA is correctly advising candidates to attend tests as they normally would. That\u2019s because not all examiners are stupid enough to be in the union in the first place, and of those who are not all are THAT stupid that they will get involved in strike action. I should also point out that the further north you travel within the UK, the more stupid people apparently get (based on the statistics for test cancellations the last few strikes).<\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/strong>The one on 1st February has been cancelled. No doubt so it can be rearranged for a more inconvenient time for candidates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
