Benefit payments, roads and the economy - NIPSA warns of potential serious disruption as civil servants get ready to strike tomorrow. Members from the union NIPSA are set for a one-day strike this Friday over pay and conditions. They say that an offer from employers of a 1.25 per cent pay increase and changes to their terms and conditions of employment have been imposed on workers "without proper and meaningful consultation". The union has warned that benefit payments, roads, courts and the economy could be affected.

The strike could also impact on the vehicle MOT centres, which are already back logged.

Stephen talked to deputy secretary general of NIPSA Carmel Gates and businessman and NI Conservative member Irwin Armstrong.
