Negotiations for 2024/2025 pay award
17th of April, 2024
This NJC pay claim for 2024-25 is made by the Joint Trade Union Side (UNISON, GMB and UNITE) to the Local Government Association.
The claim is for:
• An increase of at least £3,000 or 10% (whichever is greater) on all spinal column points In addition:
• Reviews of the gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps in local government
• A 2-hour reduction in the working week with no detriment
• An additional day of annual leave for personal or well-being purposes (with term time only staff also receiving a full day rather than a pro rata amount, that they can use at any time, including term time)
• A phased approach to reaching a minimum pay rate of £15 an hour in a maximum of two years, sooner if possible
The employers' side consulted with represetatives at a series of online briefings which took place up to the end of March. The feedback from those meetings will be taken into account before deciding on an offer back to the Unions claim.
