UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis
"Southampton's council staff are loyal public sector workers helping to keep vital services in their local community running through difficult times.
"And by way of thanks the council wants to sack them and re-employ them on worse pay.
"This dispute sends an important message to Southampton council bosses, and to other employers thinking of doing the same, that workers will not take this treatment lying down."
The message for Barnet UNISON members is clear
You have to make a stand
If negotiations break down
You have to take action
If you want to remain a council employee
You need to take action
If you want to remain a council employee
You have to stand up for yourself
If you want to remain a council employee
You help recruit more members
If you want to remain a council employee
