| 26 April pensions strike 
                      suspendedA breakthrough in negotiations between 
                      the joint unions and local government employers at UK level 
                      has lead to suspending the UK action on 25-27 April, including 
                      the Scottish strike on 26 April.
 Well done and thanksEdinburgh Branch Secretary George Lee 
                      has thanked members for turning out in their thousands on 
                      the 28 March strike.
 What happens next?The strike has been suspended because, 
                      for the first time, protection for existing staff is on 
                      the table - along with long term discussions about the future 
                      of the pensions funds.
