UNISON members not wasting their time considering a pitiful pay offer
With spiralling inflation, food and energy costs remaining at unprecedented high levels UNISON members in waste vote overwhelmingly to take industrial action over pay
In what has been described as an unprecedentedly high return in Stirling Council, members voted 98.41% in favour to take industrial action
Lorraine Thomson, UNION Branch Secretary said “given the challenges our members are facing and what amount to a pay cut on the table I expected a vote in favour to take action , but I am surprised at such a high turnout and an almost unanimous vote in favour”
Lorraine went on to say “We understand the other TUs first wave ballots close at the beginning of next week and we have a meeting with them on Monday where we’ll discuss what mandates we all have and next steps re action”.
UNISON will keep our members informed of developments.
A ballot for UNISON members in education is set to open towards the end of July 2023
