The Rail, Maritime and Transport union claims drivers on the Night Tube weekend service, which started last August, have been "blocked" from applying for full-time jobs on London Underground.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "It is outrageous that London Underground have decided to discriminate against their Night Tube drivers.
"This is a senseless and damaging policy that picks out one group of staff for negative treatment and of course the drivers are angry and that is why we are balloting for action."
Night Tube drivers balloted over strike actionpublished at 08:08 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2017
Drivers on the Night Tube are to be balloted over strike action as part of a long-running dispute over pay and jobs.
The RMT union said it was balloting members over a block on career progression, which it said had been imposed by London Underground.
It said Night Tube drivers had been prevented from moving into vacant full-time jobs.
Transport for London have yet to comment on the latest ballot.
