Local government pay negotiations update
GMB, the union for health and care workers, is calling for a parliamentary inquiry and the return of money paid out to Following the pay offer for 2016-18 made by the Local Government Employers (see Bulletin P/10/15), GMB and the other trade unions have taken soundings from members and met today to discuss the way forward.
Following the pay offer for 2016-18 made by the Local Government Employers (see Bulletin P/10/15), GMB and the other trade unions have taken soundings from members and met today to discuss the way forward.
None of the Unions are prepared to recommend the Employers’ offer and we are asking for last ditch talks to try and make improvements to what has been offered. If improvements are not forthcoming then GMB will consult members on the offer as it stands. GMB is committed to giving all members a vote to decide whether or not to accept the final offer and I will notify you as soon as possible once these arrangements are finalised.
A happy new year and I will keep you informed.
Best wishes

National Officer – Public Services Section
