Public servants working for the ACT government have rejected a pay offer that would have delivered 3 per cent increases each year for three years, prompting the main public sector union to warn of extensive industrial action unless a "reasonable" offer was brought to the negotiating table.
The government put the offer to a ballot, with 63 per cent of those who voted saying no to the proposed deal.
The Community and Public Sector Union said staff had sent the government a powerful message that the deal was not good enough.
