Hat tip Stoke on Trent UNISON "Your employer has offered you a 1% pay rise if you earn £7.71 an hour or
more. If your hourly rate is £6.45 – £7.26 you have been offered slightly more
than 1% to keep levels just above the National Minimum Wage.
This offer applies to more than one million workers.
Unison doesn’t think this pay offer is anywhere near enough – it doesn’t keep pace with price increases and will have a negative impact on your pension. Unison is therefore now in the process of balloting members over industrial action.
The ballot opened on 23 May and closes on 23 June. If your area is covered by NJC Green Book Terms & Conditions and you have not received a ballot paper by 29 May 2014, you can request one online at unison.org.uk/my-unison/welcome or by calling 0800 0857 857. Lines are open Monday to Friday from 6 am until midnight and 9am-4pm on Saturdays. The ballot helpline closes as 12 noon on 18 June 2014 and this will be the last opportunity to request a paper.
If members give the green light for strike action, it is hoped the planned strike on 10 July will make the employers see sense and start negotiating seriously.
