A third union at East Dunbartonshire Council has voted for strike action.

Unite members have backed industrial action in a ballot over changes to pay and conditions.

It s follows Unison and GMB who have already balloted on action.

Unite said 91.7% voted for industrial action on a turnout of 59.

The union’s 800 members are now scheduled to take part in industrial action over four days.

The first strike is scheduled for Thursday and Friday June 21 and 22. A further two days action is then scheduled to take place from 12.01am on Monday 25th June until 12 midnight on Tuesday 26th June.

Kenny Jordan, Unite industrial officer said: “Unite members at East Dunbartonshire Council have shown their resolution by strongly voting for industrial action.

“The savage cuts being proposed to terms and conditions, and making our members work harder and longer for less will not go unopposed.”
