Some staff at Croydon Council are to be balloted for strike action, over claims of a “discriminatory” restructure.
The GMB Union says a quarter of jobs in the payroll department are at risk, with those affected exclusively women from BAME backgrounds. The union says their counter proposals haven’t been fully considered. A spokesperson for Croydon Council said: “The council needs to make difficult but necessary decisions to address its financial challenges and to become smaller, more efficient and financially sustainable for the future. “The council has been consulting with payroll employees on proposals to restructure the team. All feedback from affected employees has been fully considered and the council will continue to update affected employees on the progress of the consultation.
