Congratulations to all UNISON members involved in last week's pay action. It got the campaign off to a very good start... |
||
More than 500,000 local government workers were on strike last week throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"This has been a fantastic response from our members," said Dave Prentis. "The employers must heed the voice of their own workforce and get back round the negotiating table to settle this dispute."
