We are pleased to inform you that members in Waste and Street Cleansing in the UNISON Stirling branch have voted to take strike action in Pursuit of an improved Local Government SJC pay claim from the employer.
71.43% of ballot papers were returned which put us comfortably over the anti-trade union law threshold of 50%. 98.95% of returned ballots were in favour of strike action.
This is a fantastic result for our UNISON Stirling Branch and we want to thank all of the Waste and Street Cleansing Workers who voted in the ballot and that are prepared to stand up and take industrial action in pursuit of a fair pay offer for all Council Workers in Stirling and across Scotland.
As you will all now be aware our ballot return has forced the employer to come back to the Trade Unions with an alternative offer which is attached for your information. UNISON Scotland Local Government Committee and Branch Secretary’s will meet tomorrow to discuss/consider this offer and we will keep members up to date at the soonest opportunity.
