Bromley APCOA parking staff set for industrial action after overwhelming pay offer rejection
97 per cent of members have rejected the pay offer and they are now 100 per cent ready for action, says GMB
GMB union members working as parking enforcement officers in Bromley have voted 100 per cent in favour of taking industrial action.
The members, employed by the council’s outsourced contractor APCOA, voted 97 per cent in favour of rejecting the company’s latest pay offer.
The union will now be looking at the next steps, including giving notice of industrial action unless APCOA and Bromley Council table a meaningful, backdated pay offer.
Craig Prickett, GMB Regional Organiser, said:
“Our members have spoken with absolute clarity.
“The sheer strength of the result shows the depth of frustration among staff who say APCOA has failed to put forward a meaningful pay offer that properly reflects their hard work and the increasing cost of living.
We’re calling on APCOA and Bromley Council to return to the table with a fair pay deal, backdated to April, as has been agreed in previous years.
“GMB members are stronger than ever and will not hesitate to act to secure the respect and fair pay they deserve.
“Unless significant progress is made, GMB will move to confirm strike dates in the coming days.”
