With 14 other unions now likely to join the industrial action, up to two million workers, including 300,000 teachers, could take to the streets. Unison said 245,358 local government and health members had voted in favour of action, with 70,253 against. But ministers immediately seized on the turnout of 29 per cent, and claimed that it showed limited support
