Wirral's Unison branch has called a 10% pay rise for some council workers a pay cut and is urging members to reject it.
The union claims some Wirral council and school staff earning more than £40,000 will also see a pay cut of nearly £4,000 a year under current proposals.
David Jones, Wirral Unison’s Secretary, said that the pay offer affects the vast majority of council workers including all staff in schools except teachers, those who provide disability support or social and housing workers.
