Middlesex UNISON Industrial Ballot Result



Middlesex University UNISON members have voted as follows in the industrial ballot regarding the potential use of compulsory redundancies at Middlesex University.
  


The results based on a turnout of almost 40% of eligible members are:

In favour of industrial action short of Strike Action : 93%

In favour of industrial  action in the form of Strike Action: 81%

As a union we are mandated by our members to deliver on motions agreed and voted for at our AGM. At which members democratically voted to uphold motions to oppose any compulsory redundancies. This was re-affirmed at an EGM in April before the Branch entered into dispute over this issue. We ran an indicative ballot in August over this issue to judge the strength of feeling and now a formal ballot.

All members have been given an opportunity to exercise their voice. Whatever action the Branch decides to take we ask that all members respect this democratic decision.

The results show a clear mandate for possible action. The Branch will inform members of further developments.
