PAY BALLOT
Colleagues
LOCAL GOVERNMENT PAY
The consultative ballot on pay will commence next week. Ballot dates are 9th June – 7th July. All members should receive a ballot paper, ballot insert and a pre paid return envelope. A helpline for those who have not received a ballot paper will be notified to branches later next week. The question being asked on the ballot paper is ‘ are you prepared to reject the actions of the employer and pursue a vote for industrial action in support of an improved offer ‘. As previously stated this is a consultative ballot, however it is extremely important that we encourage all members to participate.
