NJC PAY CLAIM 2022 #WeNeedMore
UNISON’s NJC Committee met on the 19th April to consider the results of the consultation of members and on the headline claim for the 2022 NJC pay claim for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The outcome of the vote is for the headline pay claim of “a flat rate of £2000 “this was a very clear outcome, and the NJC Committee therefore agreed that UNISON’s policy is for a headline pay claim of £2000 on each pay point.
This will now be taken forward into talks with the other two NJC trade unions, GMB and Unite, in early May, for agreement. In the meantime, work will continue on drafting the detailed content of the pay claim.
The Committee agreed strongly that the priority must be to get the next pay claim in as soon as possible, so that negotiations can begin. The pay claim and associated campaign need to build on the messaging of recent years, emphasising the crucial work our members have done throughout the pandemic, but with 2 a particular focus on the huge cost of living crisis now engulfing local government workers – with the cost of day to day essentials like petrol, heating and food increasing rapidly.
