HEALTH workers in Oxfordshire have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action for the first time in 20 years.
Ninety-three per cent of local health workers balloted by Unison voted to reject a pay rise of 1.9 per cent.
But more worrying for local health trusts, 69 per cent voted for strike action.
Chairman of Unison's Oxfordshire branch, Mark Ladbrooke, said the result reflected the discontent among NHS workers, following cuts and job losses.
