NUJ members at AOL (UK) have decided unanimously to ballot for industrial action over compulsory redundancies and lack of consultation, the union said today.

The chapel was told in September of the company's intention to cut jobs in the run-up to the sale of the Internet Service Provider to Carphone Warehouse.

The chapel, which has been recognised by AOL (UK) since 2005, said it feels that its request for voluntary redundancies hasn't been taken seriously and that members are frustrated that a 90-day consultation period, due to end on 18 December, so far has not been meaningful.
