We are in a Cost of Living Crisis, and inflation remains high.
The cost of essentials like fuel and food have risen fastest of all – hitting those on low and modest pay the hardest.
UNISON is asking our Council, Schools and Associated workers what our pay claim for April 2024 should be.
We want your input, as we will only be successful in winning fair pay with an active and engaged membership.
The NJC Committee proposes the 3 headline claims for 2024 below.
1. An increase of 10% or £3,000, whichever is the greater
2. A commitment to reach a minimum rate of pay of £15 an hour over the next two years, with a clear plan for how this will be achieved
3. Reviews of the gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps in local government.
