Early years workers in North Lanarkshire will begin voting today on whether to strike over the council’s "fire and rehire" plans which would leave workers thousands of pounds worse off.
As previously reported by Lanarkshire Live, the local authority is proposing to make early years practitioners (grade 9) redundant, then re-employ them on a lower wage (grade 7).
UNISON say that means full-time staff could see a pay cut of up to £6500 - and that the proposals would affect 375 workers.
