We know it’s tough. Bills are rising – making it more expensive to heat your home and feed and clothe your family. And no matter how many hours or how hard you work, it’s almost impossible to make ends meet.
That’s where we come in. Because when the going gets tough having UNISON in your corner can really make a difference.
Nationally we are campaigning hard for an above inflation pay rise for all public sector workers to help deal with increasing costs. We are also asking for an immediate increase in the national minimum wage to £15 an hour because no one should be on poverty pay.
But it’s not only nationally where we can make a difference. What we do together locally often leads to more money in people’s pockets.
UNISON asked local government employers in England, Wales & Northern Ireland for a pay increase of £3,000 or 10%, whichever was greater. The offer we received falls short of this at £1,290*.
We are consulting members on this offer now and want you to have your say. We recommend that you vote to reject the offer.
In UNISON’s view, the offer does little to address the continual erosion of pay that members have suffered over the past fourteen years.
The consultation is online. Eligible members have received an email with a unique, secure voting link. Voting emails was sent out on 5 June 2024.
Members who have not yet received an email, and members for whom we do not have an email address, may vote online below.
