UNISON Calling...................!


Dear Colleagues

On the 16, 17 July it is important that each and every UNISON member working for the Council supports the strike action.

This is a crucial moment for local government pay negotiations. For the past eight years YOUR Pay has consistently fallen below inflation, if we don’t make a stand now we will have another 3 years of Pay cuts.

Some members have asked why 2.45% Pay Offer when it is widely know the National Employers have budgeted for a 2.5% Award. The answer is simple, the National Employer is looking to squeeze every single drop out of the workforce.

Be clear, every member who crosses the Picket Line will be recorded in the Government Statistics as a supporter of the National Employers and more importantly as supporting the 2.45% Pay Offer.

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices, remember the Pension Strike?

If we had not taken action it is highly unlikely we would still have a Final Salary Pension.

On Wednesday evening everyone will be looking for the press reports on the BBC.

Make sure you are part of the news by supporting the strike and joining the march in central London.

We have a branch meeting on

Tuesday 15 July at 12.30 in room 6, Building 2 NLBP.

Come along with a friend or colleague to hear what you can do

Branch Secretary
