Pay & rewards meeting cancelled

We were hoping to inform members of how Job Evaluation will effect their pay early next week. Unfortunately the employer has cancelled the negotiation meeting planned for tomorrow (21st September), as they haven't finished analysing the data! This does appear bizarre seeing as we started negotiations last December. Although since the initial meeting no meaningful data has been given to the unions.

We are awaiting a new date for the meeting and will let you know when that is to take place.

The council set a target date of the end of September to reach agreement with the unions on the new pay structure. Seeing as we are unlikely to be told their proposals until at least the end of September, we can assume this date will slip. A more realistic date would probably be Christmas...2007 we hope!

As soon as we know what's happening we will let you know.
