UNISON's industrial action ballot (England, Wales, Northern Ireland) on council and school pay closed last week. UNISON's NJC committee met on Monday to consider the results and decide on the next steps.
The Branch received a 78% Rejection of the offer, but as we did not meet the required 50% turnout, we would have been excluded from participating in any action the union had decided was appropriate.
As insufficient Branches across the Country met the 50% threshold. The NJC Committee took the decision that, in light of these results, the 2024 NJC pay dispute should be settled. GMB had already accepted so also wished to settle, the joint trade union side informed the National Employers so that an NJC circular could be issued.
Please watch out for your Unison communication which will arrive via email in the coming days. If you have any further question, then please contact the Branch.
