The joint UNISON local government branches have formally responded to the proposals to move council staff to the new council, raising a number of concerns and objections.
UNISON members working for North Yorkshire County Council have voted overwhelmingly to accept improved terms and conditions which will help to improve recruitment and retention.
UNISON members working in schools and local government have voted to accept the pay award for 2022, which is £1,925 a year on all spinal points.
Members working in schools and local councils will be consulted on the 2022 pay offer.
Significant pay boost vital to meet spiralling costs as unions call for at least £2,000 pay rise for local government and school workers.
Local government employers refuse to reopen discussions on pay despite 80% rejection of 1.75%.
UNISON, along with GMB and Unite, are to move to a national strike ballot following the overwhelming rejection of the 1.75% pay offer which is another real-terms pay cut for our members.
79%, or 4 out of 5, of our members working in local government and schools have voted to reject the derisory pay offer, which would be another pay cut in real-terms.
