Early years workers in North Lanarkshire have voted overwhelmingly for strike action over the council plans which would leave workers thousands of pounds worse off.
The council is proposing to make early years workers in higher level jobs (grade 9) redundant, then re-employ them on a lower wage rate (grade 7).
That means full-time staff could see a pay cut of up to £6500, says trade union UNISON. The proposals would affect 375 workers.
