Agenda for Change battle hits the press

The threat of a strike ballot amongst UNISON members working for Serco, Medirest and ISS has had two new effects over the last 24 hours.

Yesterday, apparently, senior bosses were seen 'on the shop floor' - something of an unusual occurrence to say the least. Several reports filtered in to the union office of the senior managers turning up unannounced to chat with workers as they carried out their daily duties, chats which somehow turned swiftly towards the Agenda for Change dispute, and the prospects of a strike ballot. Hopefully the managers will have got the message that staff are serious about winning what is due to them, and that the back-dated pay must be paid.

Today, the Leicester Mercury has picked up on the latest branch press release about the issue, and the possibility of strike action. Hope people notice it in amongst the election coverage.
