Pay Claim 2021/22
With the focus for the past year quite rightly being on the Coronavirus Pandemic, health and safety issues have been at the forefront. GMB is here though to help and support members with a wide range of issues including redundancy & restructures, grievances, holiday pay, additional hours and sickness. GMB, as a recognised Union for Local Authority & Support Staff, is also involved in pay negotiations. The NJC Local Government and Schools Pay Claim for 2021/22 has now been submitted and GMB is expecting the Employer to make a Pay Offer in the next few weeks. GMB will be in touch as soon as this is received and when negotiations are completed the Final Offer will be put to members by way of a consultative ballot.
GMBs’ strength is in its’ numbers and the more members in a workplace, the stronger the voice of support staff. If you have any colleagues who are not currently in a Union, they can join GMB online at www.gmb.org.uk/join and they too can then make use of the benefits available to GMB members.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us- GMB is here for you.
