Nursery nurse members of the public sector union Unison in Scotland have voted to request a ballot for industrial action following the breakdown of talks with their local authority employers. Unison sought to achieve a Scotland-wide regrading of nursery nurses' jobs by submitting an identical pay claim to each local authority in February 2002. A working party met late last year to explore the issues. But Carol Ball, chair of Unison's Scottish nursery nurse working party, said the union had been presented with proposals that 'took us precisely nowhere'.
