Ofsted strike
11:50am Thursday 15th May 2008
A PAY strike by 1,000 civil servants will bring Ofsted inspections to a standstill on Friday.
Disgruntled UNISON and PCS staff who inspect schools, nurseries, children's care homes, childminding services and boarding schools are walking out.
Helga Pile, UNISON national officer said: "Our members have been left with no choice but to strike.
"After a winter of making difficult choices between paying the gas or electricity bill, they have been offered a miserly pay deal.
"Our Ofsted members are loyal public sector workers, not hard-liners prone to strike."
