"Should I wait until I earn more before I start saving?" It's one of the most common questions we hear. The truth? Creating the habit of saving is often more important than the amount. Even small, regular contributions can help create a financial safety net over time. What's your biggest money question right now?

🚨 IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL SCHOOL SUPPORT AND COUNCIL WORKERS 🚨

We now have a result for this year's industrial action ballot. UNISON's NJC Committee met on 11th August to consider the results of the industrial action ballot on the employers' pay offer of a 3.3% increase from 1 April 2026 (the ballot covered England and Cymru; the overall dispute also covers Northern Ireland).

Unfortunately, despite enormous efforts across the union to get the vote out, the ballot results do not offer the prospect of strike action in England and Cymru that could have any impact on the pay dispute. This is because of the restricting Trade Union Law which requires a 50% voter turnout for any decision to be made. UNISON is therefore liaising with the other local government unions to discuss next steps.

The NJC Committee and wider union will of course conduct a full review of the 2026 campaign, and our focus will now shift to the 2027 pay claim. The Committee will meet in September to begin plans for agreeing a pay claim and a positive, hard-hitting campaign.

We hope to have better news for you next year and get you the pay rises you deserve.

Our rights at work are under attack.

Reform UK has pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters, handing power to bad bosses and rogue landlords.

❌ Taking away sick pay, bereavement leave and pregnancy protections.
❌ Legalising fire-and-rehire and workplace discrimination.
❌ Reintroducing "no-fault" evictions.

Sign the petition to protect your rights.
