Members should be aware that UNISON members of the National Joint Council committee are due to meet on Tuesday morning 07 May, where a decision may be taken about a recommendation in the consultation exercise the union is due to undertake about the 1% offer. I’m sure that most members don’t need reminding that over the course of the past four years the real value of pay for the vast majority of us has shrunk by more than 15%, so the offer from the local government employers does nothing to stem the erosion of living standards for a huge swathe of the local government workforce. Likewwise, for the vast majority of us the new Camden contract will provide no redress either.
