Incoming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has an historic opportunity to end over a decade of decline and pay cuts in our council and schools. Pay increases bring in more tax payments to the treasury and put money back in local communities so make sure you look out for your purple ballot envelope and vote YES for strike action on pay.

Brighton & Hove UNISON is the only union balloting council and schools’ staff in the city on this year’s pay offer. 3.3% is way below the National Joint Council unions (UNISON, UNITE and the GMB) demand of 10% and does nothing to address the historic shortfall in pay against inflation which means council and schools’ staff are effectively working a day a week for free.

The ballot is open till 6 August, and anyone who joins UNISON by 23 July can join the fight back for fair pay.

UNISON have moved swiftly to ballot as delays to pay increases have adverse affects to those, in particular, in receipt of in-work benefits where bulk back-payments can affect Universal Credit payments in particular.
