School and council staff need a fair pay rise
Local government staff keep communities safe, clean and accessible, often for little to no recognition. Without dedicated staff, local government will collapse. And without fair pay, councils will continue to struggle to recruit and retain staff
We’re balloting for strike action
Following receipt of the full and final offer of 3.3% for council and school workers in England and Cymru, UNISON’s committee of leading activists have decided to ballot members for strike action.
The ballot will run in a selected number of target employers from 9 July until 6 August.
We will update members shortly with confirmation of affected branches.
UNISON will be recommending that members being balloted vote YES for strike action
If you lose or don’t receive a ballot paper by 16 July, please request another one by calling the hotline on 0800 0857 857.
