Environment Agency workers are set to strike later this month in a dispute over pay. Thousands of workers who are part of the Unison union will strike for four days.
Union members in England will walk out from 7pm on April 14 to 7am on April 17. Unison said that the strike will mean that communities, waters and wildlife will be put at risk.
The trade union said the strikes have been called because the Government had made no attempt to hold talks to resolve pay, despite months of strikes and industrial action. The latest round of strikes will see members who work on coastal sea defences, protect communities from floods, tackle water pollution, waste fires and fly-tipping take action.
