UNION members at three Welsh councils have announced strike action next month after rejecting a pay offer as unacceptable.

Unite Wales members at both Cardiff and Wrexham councils will start continuous strike action from September 4-17 and will be joined by workers at Gwynedd Council who will strike from September 11-17.

The strike has been called after members overwhelmingly rejected the local authority employers’ pay offer of just £1,925, a poorer offer than last year, despite the cost-of-living crisis having worsened.
