Betrayed GMB Union members deliver massive vote in Centrica consultative ballot paving the way for autumn strike action 

"Let’s hope the onset of strike action is just the jolt the Council need to wake them up and start negotiations. It’s their move next," say GMB Union

GMB are taking the decision to delay announcing the ballot result due to the office being temporarily closed

GMB non-Clinical Services members have overwhelmingly rejected Frimley Health Trust’s individual valuation of staff facing Privatisation to the Trust’s WOS

"GMB Members remain ready to talk but to be clear they remain ready for action if ignored" says GMB Southern

GMB are to gauge the strength of feeling among members in an indicative ballot, before potentially moving forward to a formal ballot and possible industrial action

The company’s refusal to negotiate a pay settlement leaves the GMB union and its members no choice other than seek members’ authority to take industrial action.

“The strikes of course can be suspended or stopped at any time by our members but they will require absolute written guarantees that the WOS has been scrapped and that the trust…

“The implementation of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and the unfair transfer of concerned staff must cease in all or any of its proposed forms by the Trust” says GMB Southern

It also still remains the case that the members are significantly worse off than if they were directly employed by the Trust, says GMB Southern
