Strike ballot papers should be dropping on the mats of our local government members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland this week... |

Hundreds of thousands of council workers are poised to vote on whether to strike over a miserly below-inflation pay offer that is a pay cut in real terms.
By voting for a strike, UNISON members can send a clear message to the employers that this is an issue that will not go away. Make sure you have your say.
