Trade unions have agreed to reconvene to discuss their next steps on the ongoing pay dispute within days of GMB’s strike ballots closing, The MJ understands.

The GMB is conducting industrial action ballots targeted at some councils that are due to close on 24 October while Unite, which is currently striking in a small number of local authorities, has called for employers to return to the negotiating table.

Unison has confirmed that it will not be taking industrial action and wishes to settle the pay dispute.

Unite said no new decisions would be made until after 24 October while its strike action continued.
