"UNISON is urging members to vote - and vote YES - in the ballot for industrial action to protect public sector pensions. This ballot closes on Thursday 3 November: Your last chance to vote for action to defend your pension is fast approaching.
We need a big Yes vote and a high turnout to send a clear and united message to ministers that "enough is enough" and to help persuade them to withdraw their current unfair and unjustified attacks on pensions.
If you have not received your ballot paper, or you need a replacement, phone the ballot hotline on 0845 355 0845 to request a ballot paper. You need to do this before noon on 31 October. (Please note the contact centre can only deal with enquiries from members directly).
UNISON is balloting for strike action initially to start on 30 November.
We are also working with other trade unions and community groups to organise local and national protests in support of public sector pensions.
The ballot opened on 11 October and closes on 3 November.
Help us to spread the word so that your colleagues in UNISON vote Yes in the ballot. Please vote Yes."
