UNIONS have urged their members in local government to throw out a “woeful” 1.75 per cent pay offer.
Unison, GMB and Unite have told employers to rethink their proposal to council workers in England, Wales and the north of Ireland, who have kept local services and schools running during the pandemic.
They accuse the Local Government Association (LGA) of spurning their offer of a united campaign to force the government to fund an increase that comes closer to the unions’ 10 per cent claim.
