LABOUR staff who are members of the Unite and GMB unions overwhelmingly voted in favour of strike action today if the party’s plans for compulsory redundancies go ahead.
Indicative ballots among both unions’ members closed on Tuesday and recorded turnouts of around 80 per cent, with 75 per cent voting in favour of industrial action if faced with compulsory redundancies.
The ballots were called following the announcement of a reorganisation, including job cuts for at least 90 workers, by Labour general secretary David Evans in July.
