NJC pay update: branch views required by 5 April
UNISON’s NJC committee met on Friday 16 March to consider the response from the member consultation over the Local Government Association’s (LGA) pay offer for 2018-20 – and agree next steps.
UNISON members very narrowly voted to reject the Local Government Association’s (LGA) pay offer, with 50.44% voting to reject and 48.66% voting to accept it. The small discrepancy was the result of 0.89% spoilt ballot papers.
However, 62.4% of branches – and 8 out of 11 regions – voted to accept the offer.
Consequently the NJC committee agreed to:
Reluctantly amend its recommendation to acceptance of the pay offer.
Consult branches via regions on the revised recommendation to accept the offer.
The consultation will be completed by 5 April 2018.
Branches will be asked : ‘Do you agree with the NJC committee’s revised decision to accept the 2018-20 NJC pay offer? Yes /No.’ Branches are being asked to seek member feedback.
The NJC committee will meet on 6 April to discuss branches feedback and decide next steps. We will keep branches and members updated.
