UNITE to ballot public servants on industrial action
The UNITE trade union has decided to ballot its workers in local authorities and the HSE on industrial action in opposition to the public-sector pension levy.
The union says its members are furious about the blatant unfairness of the levy, which will see between 3% and 10% taken from the salaries of all public and civil servants.
The Civil and Public Service Union is already planning a one-day strike next Thursday to protest against the measure.
