UNISON is holding a consultation of local government NJC members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to decide whether we accept or reject the NJC Employer’s side offer of a 2.75% pay increase for 2019/20.

In the North West our Regional Service Group, made up of representatives from each branch, agreed to recommend to REJECT the offer.

To set out the reasons why NJC workers are worthy of fair recognition we have launched the First They Clap Us, Then They Slap Us campaign.
