The Spectator(@spectator):Civil servants never cease to amaze with just how lazy and entitled they can be. Not content with switching on their laptops for a few hours a day from the comfort of their sofas, they are now threatening to strike unless they are gifted a four-day week and a 10 per cent pay hike. You couldn't make it up… The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union will hold a strike ballot on 20 October, with demands also including greater protection for working from home, more annual leave and the 'right to switch off'. ✍️ Steerpike Article | https://t.co/8YbeOTlhbD
