Aberdeen City Indicative Ballot Results

Dear Colleagues

The indicative ballot closed at midnight on Wednesday 26 January 2011.   Part 1 related to ballot verification then two questions were asked.   The response to questions 2 & 3 were:

2. In the event of compulsory redundancies:
64.4% in favour of a ballot on action including strike action
35.6% in favour of a ballot on action short of strike action

3. In the event of a pay cut being imposed:
80.5% in favour of a ballot on action including strike action
19.5% in favour of a ballot on action short of strike action

This Association will be carefully monitoring the situation in Aberdeen City and would ask every member to contact us immediately if they are threatened with any of the actions listed above. Members will be kept fully informed of any information received and will be contacted as soon as the situation becomes clear.   In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact either the office or your District Secretary, John Gray, if you have any questions or require support.

Yours sincerely

Ann Ballinger

General Secretary
