Council and School Pay

Local government staff keep communities safe, clean and accessible, often for little to no recognition.

Within our 2024 claim, we asked the employers for a pay increase of £3,000 or 10%, whichever was greater. The offer of £1,290 falls far short of this.*

Following a consultation of member, our NJC committee, made up of leading activists, decided that we would proceed with an industrial action ballot.

The ballot opened on Wednesday 4 September and closes at 10:00 on Wednesday 16 October.

Look out for your purple envelope.
