Schools across Birmingham are set to be affected by industrial action on Monday 23 September.

Support workers in 35 schools have said they will down tools over disputes over equal pay.

It is thought that as many as 1,500 workers will join the action, including teaching assistants, catering staff and grounds maintenance staff.

There is expected to be a strike rally in Victoria Square in Birmingham City Centre midday on Monday 23 September.

The strike comes as Birmingham City Council bosses have been slammed for delays in settling equal pay claims lodged by women workers at the authority, according to the GMB Union.

Alice Reynolds, GMB Organiser, said: "These workers have been pushed to the brink. Workers across the city are feeling the pinch, unable to pay their bills, rents and mortgages.

"Meanwhile Birmingham City Council continue to drag their heels on paying them the money they're owed. This strike will have a huge impact on local schools; partial or full closures could be on the horizon. We need to see progress on settling our members' claims from council bosses, and soon."
