Unison consulting members in local government over pay claim

The Unison union has called on its local government branches in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to consult members for the 2014/2015 pay claim. 

Branch secretaries are encouraged to consult “as widely as possible” and submit responses by Friday 4 October.

The union is proposing two options for branches to support. 

Both mean a fight for the Living Wage to become the basic rate of pay for local government workers.
