Stroud council could face strike over restructuring

Workers at Stroud District Council have voted to take industrial action over restructuring plans.

Members from public service union Unison voted by 80% to consider strike action because the council wants to create a "flexible workforce".

The council has insisted the changes are needed to meet the challenges faced by the authority.

Council officials said they are willing to re-engage with unions at any time to resolve the problem.
