The Local Government Employers have responded to our claim for a pay rise of 5% or £1,000 with an offer of 2%.
The trade union side have rejected this offer and further negotiations are to take place.
There are further details on the local government section of the UNISON website. I hope we are forthright in our condemnation of this stingy offer which won’t keep up with inflation and offers nothing to the low paid.
It would appear the employers may be prepared to go up to 2.5% and perhaps a little higher – but we will only get a decent pay rise (and reverse the decline in our living standards over the last three years) if we can mobilise support for industrial action.
