It’s gone on strike.

It’ll only get worse as the end of the year approaches and it intensifies its 
protests about the lack of Christmas party budgets.

(A ballot was circulated and with a record 100% response rate, iPlayer voted 
unanimously in favour of industrial action. FM&T did investigate the 
possibility of hiring a temporary iPlayer to take over the work whilst the 
strike was ongoing, but employment legislation would makes this illegal).
