Parking Wardens (GMB) Strike Calendar

Dozens of parking wardens across Wiltshire will take strike action to protest the council’s decision to remove a contractual unsocial hours payment. The action will take place across the county for one week from 10 December, taking in two of the busiest Christmas shopping Saturdays. GMB members have previously taken two days of strike action in May before the plans were shelved, only to have the proposals put forward again in August. The proposals, if successful, would result in traffic wardens losing around £2,000 a year, with social workers losing up to 20% of their pay, or £3,500 annually.
