NJC Pay Campaign 2021/22 - Latest update    

Please see below the latest information regarding the NJC Pay Campaign 2021/22


Here are the key facts and dates:

The local government employers have made a final offer of 1.75% from 1 April 2021 (2.75% for those on pay point 1).

UNISON members have voted overwhelmingly to reject this offer, and we are balloting members asking them to vote ‘yes’ to strike action to help secure a better pay increase.

The NJC Committee, UNISON’s senior committee of members covering local government pay, has decided that we will ask one straightforward question: whether members wish to take strike action.

Ballot papers will go out to members from the 1st December and to mark the launch of the ballot we will be holding a rally outside Endeavour House on the 1st December between 1100-1400.

All members welcome, please come along and show your support and come and get your free combat2coffee drink on us!!

Ballot papers will be sent using members home addresses and will include a letter explaining the dispute and encouraging members to vote ‘yes’ for strike action. The ballot closes on the 14th January 2022.

A ballot helpline 0800 0 857 857 will be open between 9 December 2021 and 10 January 2022.
