Delegates to the PCS civil service workers' union today (Wednesday) sent a defiant message to the government by voting almost unanimously to launch a strike ballot.
Only two people voted against. There were loud cheers in the conference centre after the vote was taken.
The union will now ballot 270,000 members, with activists mobilising to win the biggest yes vote on the biggest turn out.
