This email was sent out by UNISON Community National Office yesterday. Many workers whose pay is linked to Local Government rates (NJC) do not work directly for Councils.
I represent these workers (my pay is also subject to this agreement) at the UNISON NJC Committee on behalf of Community Executive.
Dear colleagues,
Please find below the final offer from NJC employers to joint local government trade unions.
After our rejection of the two ‘options’ in their first pay offer, the Local Government Employers (LGE) came back to us with a final offer in writing on 25 April (attached).
The revised offer is:
· 1% on all pay points from 1 April 2013
· Deletion of scale point 4 (the bottom pay point) from 1 October 2013
There are around 28,000 employees – mostly women working part-time - on scale point 4, who would move onto the revised scale point 5 in October. This would mean a 1% increase for them between April and 30 September and a further 1.4% increase on 1 October. Overall they would move from £6.30 to £6.45 – a 2.4% increase.
UNISON’s NJC Committee will be meeting on the 7 May in the morning to discuss the final offer and agree its recommendation for the branch consultation which will start as soon as possible after 7 May. The Joint Trade Union Side will meet in the afternoon and will hopefully agree a joint way forward.
John Gray is the Community Service Group Executive representative on the NJC Committee. If branches or regions have the opportunity to take soundings with members on NJC conditions before 7 May, please pass on any comments to John at johnDOTgray2012ATBtinternet.com.
