East Dunbartonshire Action starts
Members at Hilton Depot in East Dunbartonshire Council, started
strike action (along with their GMB colleagues) on 10 May
after a successful ballot approved both strike action and
action short of strike in the branch's campaign against the
impostion of cuts in conditions as part of the single status
proposals of the council.
The action is being backed from the 13 May by an council
wide overtime ban, a work to rule and a ban on the use of
private cars for council business. The branch has adopted
a joint strategy of selective strikes, backed up by all-out
action short of strikes.

Jim Burnett, East Dunbartonshire Branch Secretary said, "Members
are not prepared to accept the removal of shift allowances,
lower over-time rates and flexible annual leave which is only
flexible if management allow it. We are taking action to bring
a better offer from Management to the table."
