Thames Water Strike?

In protest at the announcement that Thames Water is to cut 300 jobs for corporate rather than operational reasons, the GMB trade union has said they are considering balloting for strike action.

GMB national officer, Mick Rix, described bosses as using the recession as an excuse, and said that the utility should be run for the benefit of customers - not shareholders.

The GMB union will meet on 17th February.
