TWO out of four councils in south Bucks will be hit by pay strikes today - but bosses insist it should be business as usual.
Staff at Wycombe District and Chiltern District Council will walk out as part of a national day of action by Unison today and tomorrow.
A statement from Wycombe said: "Our offices will be open from 8.45am to 5.15pm, as usual.
"We hope to maintain the level of service that is expected of us during this time, as contingency measures will be put into place where necessary, but some disruption to services may occur."
A statement from Chiltern said: "Our offices will be open and we expect to be able to deal with customer requests and provide services as normal.
"Information on all our services can be found on our website."
The union has been called following a 2.45 per cent pay off from the Government.
A spokeswoman for South Bucks District Council said Unison members were not taking action Councillor Frank Downes, cabinet member for resources at Buckinghamshire County Council, said: "Buckinghamshire County Council opted out of national pay negotiations a number of years ago.
"Our employees are not involved in the national strike ballot and therefore, we would not expect them to be participating in the industrial action.
"We are not expecting any disruption to the services we provide."
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "Striking is never an easy option and not something that we do lightly.
"We urge the employers to sit down with us and discuss a fair and equitable solution."
