Nothing learned in three years from these unions take your subs every month for what ???

The shocking thing here is

The lack of updates from the unions
Lack of engagement
Lack of visibility in the work place
Uncoordinated approach to anything that’s being done despite the members crying out for it
They said last year accept this and we will work on next year, we’ll this year has been and gone and nothing

Local government workers do not exist clearly do not matter and are worthy of the minimal level of support and attention it’s outrageous that the subs get taken each month what are we paying for??? When you pay a subscription you expect a service to be delivered I’d love someone to explain what service is being delivered on our behalf here apart from delayed ballotting, uncoordinated efforts and treating its members with utter contempt

I am out – but I’ll still have to wait for these unions to sort things out – the cost of living continues to rise we are told repeatedly council budgets are thin so how’s about being realistic here and tackling the issue as soon as possible not an age after the event this is just creating apathy, mistrust and a disgruntled membership.

Sort it out will you

Fast forward to 2024, Public Sector receive inflation busting pay rises across the board; however as Local Authority pay rises are agreed by the NJC, we are no longer treated as public servants.

This is double standards, all the same when it saves money but separate when it means having to fork out for a realistic pay rise.

No one will want to work for Local Government for much longer and recruitment is already a sore subject.

The SWU are blocked from the campaign. You need to join unison if you want to have a voice.

We have the power. always remember that, we are just a country that never use it and let the dictators dictate . They gave all the money to NHS and Teachers (i still don’t get why teachers are more important than the rest of us ?) but its all done to keep the public happy, the rest of our our immaterial. Don’t let them treat us this way

This is what will inevitably stop us getting anything extra and will mean us caving in like last year the focus on next year, rinse and repeat

Unless really struggling everyone should just stick together and refuse to cave in. It’s the ONLY way we have a chance . The Government are not stupid either . They know by delaying they get more chance of us giving in. We should all take the hit for now if we can , we will get the money sooner or later anyway but showing them we never cave in may mean we get more. They are laughing at us. Give all the money to NHS and Teachers to keep the public happy but we are immaterial to them

Agreed
