Lanarkshire nursery staff threaten strike action over 'fire-and-rehire' plans by council

Nursery workers in Lanarkshire could be set to go on strike over controversial 'fire-and-rehire' proposals set out by the council.

North Lanarkshire Council has tabled proposals to make early years workers in higher-level jobs redundant to re-employ them at a lower wage rate, according to UNISON.

The union has said that the decision could result in full-time staff seeing a pay cut of up to £6,500. Around 91 per cent of workers consulted by the union have said they would back strike action.
