The Pay Seminar will take place in early autumn 2011. The action list from the Pay and Cuts Roundtable which had been held on 2nd December 2010 was circulated. This had been agreed and endorsed by the PDCC on 26 January 2011.
The Union must maintain its firm opposition to the pay freeze, and must ensure that it relates prevailing economic conditions to members’ individual circumstances. This will be done by campaigning to ensure that all members are aware how much current government policy is costing them. In terms of providing information on the effects of the range of price rises on the decreasing ability of wages and salaries to keep up. Information should be provided by the use of real examples - rises in food prices, rents, travel costs, petrol and oil prices, utility bills etc. In order to build such a consensus, as well as leaflets and posters for branches, a dedicated Pay Campaign web wage must be maintained, providing easily downloadable materials to assist branches in campaigning
The number one issue for members is job security but that it cannot be bought at any price and we need to give good clear consistent advice on such issues as workload management and health and safety.
The cuts pack is being prepared by the Links Unit. The cuts pack to be circulated when completed to SGLC members for comment and if necessary amendment prior to distribution to branches.
