📢 Council and school staff need a fair pay rise.
Unions representing 1.4 million workers are calling for a wage rise of at least £3,000 to tackle soaring workloads and rising costs.
Without action, recruitment and retention will worsen.

UNISON utterly condemns the continued military assault and bombardment of Gaza.
Israeli government plans to force the population of Gaza into a deportation camp built on the ruins of southern Gaza can only be understood as ethnic cleansing.

Council and workers are the glue that hold our communities together and they're at breaking point - they need a pay rise 💜 Find out more about our campaign: unison.org.uk/weneedmore #weneedmore
Cleaners, carers, bin collectors and other council workers kept us going through the pandemic. Many are now using foodbanks because they can’t afford to feed their families.
They need and deserve a pay rise.
But councils are under huge pressure…

Whilst most of us were at work yesterday or supporting @RMTunion we received another letter from our general manager in what can only be described as a sad & desperate attempt to scare us in to not striking. @NorthWestUNISON @before_profit #PayUpOCS #NHS #CostOfLivingCrisis
