STAFF at Leigh Benefits Agency are planning another strike over Government attitude to office safety screens.
Threats and assaults on staff in benefit offices doubled last year to over 5000, and more would have been injured had it not been for protective screens.
Now the Government is deeming these screens unnecessary.
Staff at the Windermere Road office will be forming a picket line between 7.30-9.30am on January 28 and 29 as part of a national strike.
