Bolton: Union not looking at action over cuts

UNISON members will not take industrial action over Bolton Council's planned £10.6 million in cuts - reports The Bolton News.

Natalie Mills, spokesman for Unison, said:
"We are not looking at industrial action at this stage because many of the members are worried about their jobs.

Up to 400 employees have had to take a pay cut because of changes to their working terms and conditions.

Among the cuts, around £4.6 million is being slashed from the adult services and culture and community cohesion budgets, accounting for 130 lost posts and the closure of the Manor Court care home in Harwood will save £820,000 with the loss of 50 jobs.
