Why we must fight for a Pay rise and not a Pay cut.
Barnet UNISON reps at our Branch Executive meeting agreed that Barnet UNISON would make a recommendation to our members to reject the Employers offer.
Below are some of the reasons why we have taken this position.
- Local Government Pay has fallen by 27.5% since 2010 because of 12 years of Tory Austerity Pay Cuts.
- The latest offer is another Pay cut not a Pay rise.
- The Tories Austerity Policy is to make us all poorer.
Politicians claim there is no magic money tree
- Shell made record profits of nearly £10bn between April and June
- BT Group announced profits £400 million in the first quarter of this year.
- BT made “1.3 billion and gave £750 million to shareholders.
- British Gas owner Centrica profits increased fivefold by 411% to £1.3 billion as our energy bills continue to soar.
- BT CEO Philip Jansen earned a total of £3,460,000 up 32% from the £2,628,000 he received in 2021.
- Railways made £5 billion in profit last year.
What Tory Austerity Policies are doing to us.
- UK households face annual energy bills of £3,850, this has tripled since the start of 2022.
- Household energy bills £500 a month.
- 5.8 million people in England, Scotland and Wales, both in and out of work – 40% of universal credit claimants are workers.
- 5 million people in the UK lived in food poverty between 2019 – 2020.
- Workers are turning to food banks because they don’t have enough money.
- Foodbanks are running out of food because they can’t cope with the demand.
- School support staff are missing meals in order they can feed their own children at home.
What can we do?
Barnet UNISON members are going to carry out a National Pay survey. It is important that every single member completes the survey and posts it back. First, we need over 50% of members to vote in the survey. Second, we want most of those voting to Vote Reject. “UK inflation could reach 15% by start of 2023, experts say” Every month inflation rises makes this offer worse for more of our members.
Barnet UNISON will issue the National Pay survey on Thursday 1 September until 5pm, Friday 16 September.
Members will receive an email with a link to the survey. Those with no access to email will receive a hard copy survey.
