That article is a bit scant on details. In particular this part:

The vote for industrial action follows the union's rejection of an offer of a pay rise between 2.7 - 4.6 percent.

Every article I've seen is for the offers to be over 3 years or so. This article makes it sound like they are turning down an offer of three or four percent which seems like a reasonable offer at the moment, is this amount actually split over several years making it far less than inflation like the previous offers?

yea it's spread out, it doesn't even keep up with inflation.
