Rishi Sunak’s government is planning for military staff and civil servants to cover for striking workers at air and sea ports as the UK braces for industrial action set to cause major disruptions in the coming weeks.

The measures are among contingency plans due to be discussed at an emergency Cobra meeting on Monday.

The government has agreed to 5% pay rises on average for public-sector workers, and insists inflation-matching increases or above are unaffordable and would undermine the fight against inflation. Handing every government worker an 11% rise would cost taxpayers about £28-billion , the government has said.

The Royal College of Nursing is demanding a pay rise of 5% above the RPI inflation rate – currently at 14.2% – to make up for years of wage restraint.
