Unite has followed Unison and the GMB in backing public sector strike action on November 30th. 75% voted in favour on a turnout of 31%. Reacting to the result, Unite general secretary, Len McCluskey, said:
“Yet again public sector workers are telling the government that `enough is enough’. They have endured wages cuts, rising living costs and horrific job losses, as this government forces the less well off in this country to pay for the sins of the elite. They are not prepared to stomach this attack on their pensions, too.”
