More than 1,000 maintenance and repair workers for councils around the UK will go on strike.
The members of Unite who are employed as local government craftworkers will walk out on June 17, 18, 23 and 24 as part of a dispute over pay and conditions.
Those taking part are employed at Bristol, Southwark, Stoke-on-Trent, Newham, Leeds and Babergh and Mid Suffolk councils.
"Local government workers have had enough," Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said.
"Years of poor pay increases and freezes have undermined their earnings and are driving living standards down.
"The attacks on their national agreement, designed to make them even poorer in the future, are totally unacceptable."
