A short service will be held to commemorate Worker’s Memorial Day, all welcome. Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available afterwards.

“Strong Laws – Strong enforcement – Strong Unions”

Every year more people are killed at work than in wars. Most don’t die of mystery ailments, or in tragic “accidents”. They die because an employer decided their safety just wasn’t that important a priority. Workers’ Memorial Day (WMD) commemorates those workers.

We were delighted to welcome Heather Wakefield, UNISON’s Head of Local Government to Derby to talk with members about the 2016 NJC Pay Claim.  Heather spoke in detail  about the negotiation process which takes place nationally and what the Trade Union Side has submitted as part of this.

 

  • Deletion of NJC and all local pay points which fall below the level of the UK Living Wage (and deletion of GLPC pay points below London Living Wage) and a flat rate increase of £1 per hour on all other pay points
  • Retention and protection of Green Book Part 2 terms and conditions and
  • Fair treatment for school support staff through a joint review of term time working.

Heather also listened to the concerns of those members present to help influence the UNISON contribution to these negotiations.
