Healthcare workers across Lanarkshire are to be balloted over strike action in a continuing pay dispute.
Members of Unison, which is Scotland’s largest NHS trade union, will be receiving official voting papers from Monday seeking their views on taking action in protest over the tabled five per cent pay offer.
Union officials this week sent formal notification of their formal postal ballot plans to 29 health service employers – including NHS Lanarkshire – describing the current national offer as “nowhere near enough”.
