We asked the employers for a pay increase of £3,000 or 10%, whichever was greater. The offer of £1,290 falls far short of this.
We consulted members on this offer, and following the strong reject vote we received, our NJC committee has decided that we will proceed with an industrial action ballot.
Voting for, and taking, industrial action will send a clear message to employers that you need a better pay rise.
The ballot opens 4 September and closes 16 October at 10:00. The hotline is open 17 September, closing at noon on 9 October; also, the cut-off to order a replacement ballot. New members who join by 3 October will have a vote in the ballot.
The Branch will be organising a number of events week commencing 9 September – If you have any questions please come along and meet your Branch Representatives.
PLEASE USE YOUR VOTE – voting for, and taking, industrial action will send a clear message to employers that you need a better pay rise.
