UCATT workers set for second 24-hour strike

UCATT workers employed by Birmingham Council are set to stage a second 24 hours strike on Tuesday 26 February.

The dispute concerns a unilateral decision by Birmingham council bosses to impose new contracts on 20,000 workers. Many of the workers affected face losing thousands of pounds in pay, as a result of the new salaries.

Steve Murphy regional secretary for UCATT Midlands Region, said: “Once again ordinary workers are being forced to withdraw their labour, due to the intransigent attitude. We like our sister unions are willing to negotiate but so far management have refused to negotiate.”

Other unions involved in the dispute include the GMB, UNISON and UNITE.
