Votes in favour varied from 74% to 94%. The action is in the first instance in defence of the right of staff to retire at 60. The government is also looking to introduce a 'career average' pension rather than a fina; sa;ary one..
The unions involved are: Amicus, GMB, TGWU, UNISON. Picket lines are expected to be inplace at the civic offices and the Swindon Services depots.
