Branch secretary, Inez Kirk said,”Please return your ballot. We are calling for a rejection of this offer but the most important thing is that all our members have their say.
“We believe our members deserve better. Local Government and its workforce must no longer be the poor relation in public services. From caring for the most vulnerable in society, to supporting Covid prevention measures, Local Government workers never stopped working.
“Our members have been providing essential, preventative and life saving services throughout the pandemic without a break. Many of them have worked beyond their normal hours and in difficult circumstances to continue with the provision of essential services in the communities in which they live, work and serve.
