These workers, members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), are employed by ISS.
They will participate in the strike at the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, Department for Business & Trade, and Department for Science, Innovation & Technology.

The walkout will start today (Monday, October 9).
The union has voiced frustration over the proposed pay increase of 2.2 percent, which falls below the inflation rate.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “We haven’t had a meeting with ISS for months, which is insulting.
“Our members are working alongside people earning more money, on better terms and conditions, while the company is making a vast profit at their expense.

“It’s time for ISS to pay our members a fair wage and time for the Government to end outsourcing and the resulting two-tier workforce.”
This latest strike action follows a similar protest that occurred just last month.
