Three weeks of ‘parking chaos’ await Ealing during planned strikes by 40 traffic wardens, Unite has warned.

Ealing Council refused to transfer the workers’ recognition agreement with the trade union after they transferred from Serco to council-owned firm Greener Ealing Ltd this year, according to Unite.

The union said the parking workers’ roles were ‘completely different’ from those of Greener Ealing’s waste management staff.

General secretary Sharon Graham said: ‘Greener Ealing’s treatment of these workers is atrocious and will not be tolerated.

‘The company is preventing these workers, who are a distinct working group, from bargaining collectively over pay and other issues.’

Unite said the strike action due to take place from 27 August to 18 September would ‘severely disrupt’ on-street parking and council car parks.

A council spokesperson said: ‘We are aware that since parking services were transferred into a council-owned company that Unite and Greener Ealing have been in negotiation over a recognition agreement. 

‘We welcome trade union representation of our workforce and hope an equitable agreement will be reached between the union and Greener Ealing.’
