Bradford staff set to strike over library closures

Library and museum staff employed by Bradford City Council are balloting over strike action against plans to cut 14 libraries and museums.

Unite, Britain and Ireland’s largest union, said approximately 50 staff will vote but stop short of strike action in the hope that the council will rethink the cost-cutting plans.

Until recently, the FRC had little involvement in local government affairs. But with investigations into council officers becoming more frequent, where is the political accountability?
