Local Government strike action 16th / 17th July
UNISON’s industrial action committee has confirmed that local government strike action will go ahead on 16 and 17 July in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"Throughout the union and across the country our members working in local government have given sustained strike action the green light," said UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis.
The action affects 600,000 of the union’s local government members, including social workers, librarians, school meals workers, refuse collectors, surveyors and teaching assistants.
They will walk out to protest this year’s below-inflation pay offer of 2.45%. Find out more at the UNISON national website.
