I am writing to inform you that our members working in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in local authorities have voted in favour of taking industrial action.
The ballot concluded on Friday 5th December, and today, the Local Government and Local Services Divisional Executive Committee (DEC) met and ratified the result. There was an 86% turnout in the ballot, with 98.4% voting in favour.
Employers and the LGMA will now be informed of this result, and we will regroup with members to decide on next steps.
We are determined to secure fair recognition, improved career pathways, and a consistent national approach to out-of-hours work for ICT professionals in the local authority sector. Their work is vital to delivering quality public services and effective local government in this country.
We will continue to update you as this issue develops, as we will be counting on solidarity and cooperation from all members in the sector.
Yours in solidarity,
Richy Carrothers
Head of Local Government and Local Services division, Fórsa
