The Public and Commercial and Services union is struggling to restore its online service. The union’s website has been hit by traffic 1,000 times its normal level since May 11. The PCS is set to announce a ballot of members that could lead to a strike over public spending cuts. The site is still unavailable, other than a static home page, and the site is only accessible by static, officials say. It has been the victim of a “sustained and well-organized” attack that had seriously affected access to the site.”]
