Barnet council UNISON members will begin a 24 hour strike action on Wednesday 7 October.
The dispute involves social workers, coach escorts, drivers, occupational therapists, schools catering staff, education welfare officers, library workers, children centre workers, street cleaning and refuse workers. All have made it clear they don’t want their services or jobs outsourced.
Barnet Council is about to agree outsourcing and cuts across a number of council committees over the next four months which would see the number of staff employed by the council reduced to less than 300.
