Council staff threaten industrial action over possible compulsory redundancies

COUNCIL workers in Wirral could be balloted for industrial action over possible plans for compulsory redundancies.

The names of around 100 employees are on the authority’s Corporate Redeployment Register and are yet to have their fate decided.

A special council meeting is now to be held after unions said they would consider industrial action if there are compulsory redundancies.

The council began its wide-ranging review after it was revealed last year that it had to plug a £60m hole in its budget over the next three years.
