UNISON says REJECT UNISON s NJC Committee is recommending members reject the two-year 2018/20 pay offer. The Committee believes that the offer falls short of our claim However, the Committee is clear that the offer is the best achievable by negotiation and that nothing short of substantial, all-out strike action could have the potential to improve the offer
UNISON says REJECT Inflation is predicted as 2.9% in the first quarter of 2018 and 2.8% in the first quarter of 2019 meaning: Two-thirds employees get below inflation increase in 2018 Nearly half of employees get below inflation increase in 2019 Higher increases have to be paid to give headroom above National Living Wage Those on Foundation Living Wage will not benefit as much Central government should fund the pay increase
Funding the offer LGA says that council budgets will have been cut by 75% by 2020 65% now spent on social care English and Welsh Local Government Settlements 2018 -19 did not include a new element for the NLW or the pay offer But many councils have unallocated reserves Some schools too
UNISON, GMB and Unite consulting to same timetable UNISON s consultation starts on 29 January and ends on 9 March GMB is consulting on best achievable by negotiation through all-member postal ballot Unite is also recommending rejection UNISON NJC Committee meets on 16 March to consider responses We need a high UNISON turnout so we have an accurate picture of members views. It s YOUR union and YOUR pay!
