POLICE staff members of a trade union have voted to go on strike following a national dispute over pay.

The 24 hour walkout is in support of a campaign to re-open pay talks to improve staff members 2014 pay offer.
The strike, taking place on December 22, will be followed by a four week voluntary overtime ban from January 5.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said they had not been notified about specific striking days, but knew about the ballot.
He added: "All police forces in England and Wales have been notified and must now be given seven days' notice by the unions informing them of what action they intend to take.
"We are making contingency plans to deal with the effects of any action as is prudent to do so."
Dave Prentis, UNISON general secretary, said: "It is rare for police staff to take industrial action and the strike is a clear sign that they've had enough."
