Industrial action against Sefton Council, which is accusing six of its workers of intimidation after they attended a protest against theprivatisation of council housing is continuing. The unions accuse management of wanting to victimise Unison shop steward Nigel Flanagan.
Workers from the council’s highways department have now joined the strike, bringing the total number of strikers to about 80. Other workers are due to come out if the victimisation issue is not resolved.
