GMB MEMBERS VOTE BY 4 TO 1 MAJORITY IN
FAVOUR OF STRIKE ACTION ON PENSIONS
It is not too late for the government
to pull back from this confrontation and scrap this attack on
pensions says GMB
GMB members working in local government, the
NHS and the civil service across England, Wales, Scotland and
Northern Ireland have voted by more than 4 to 1 in favour of strike
action on 30 November to defend their pensions.
Turnout was 33% across all GMB members
balloted in the many thousands of employers across UK. GMB is now
conveying the results to these employers and GMB members who were
balloted. The full results will be published on GMB website
http://www.gmb.org.uk/ in due
course.
Brian Strutton GMB National Secretary for
public services said “GMB members have resoundingly said
“Yes” to strike action and “No” to the government’s raid on their
pensions.
It is now clear that millions of
workers will be protesting on November 30th at the
Government’s attack on jobs and pensions. The government have
already accepted that the original proposals were unfair and wrong.
It is not too late for the government to pull back from this
confrontation and scrap this attack on pensions”
