Early years workers in North Lanarkshire are set to go on strike after they 'overwhelmingly' voted for industrial action.
Union members were balloted from June 5 to June 26, with 77 per cent of the membership voting and 97 per cent of those calling for strike action.Marie Quiqley, UNISON North Lanarkshire branch secretary, said: “These fire and rehire plans are outrageous proposals. I had hoped the council would have seen sense by now.
“At a time when it’s harder than ever to make ends meet, these mostly women workers are being asked to do the same work for considerably less.
