Almost 200 GMB members will walk out on Monday 26 with further strike dates planned for later in the month.
GMB union has urged company top brass to get back around the table with an offer that reflects the hard work and commitment of it’s staff. However these warnings have been ignored and GMB members have now rejected outright offered from company management is an all member ballot.
This comes as workers express outrage over Walsall Housing Group’s chief executive being handed a 14.7 per cent pay rise.
Walsall Housing Group is one of the Midlands biggest housing companies and strike action looks set to have an impact on services across the company.
Justine Jones, GMB Organiser, said:
“Our members are outraged that company managers have yet again failed to acknowledge their contribution to the company.
“The fact the company CEO has himself trousered an almost 15 per cent pay rise, whilst workers across the company are offered nothing but warm words and pennies is a disgrace.
“The outcome of recent ballots on pay offers from the company have been overwhelming and our members are clear they’re ready to take action to defend their pay.”
