💷 The cost of food, energy and water continues to put pressure on household budgets. Council and school workers shouldn't be expected to absorb yet another squeeze on living standards. Your ballot is your chance to have a say. 📬 Vote YES and return your ballot paper as soon as possible.

Being worse off is not a pay rise. Since 2010, local government pay has fallen by an average of 26% in real terms. This year’s offer falls far short of what you need and deserve. 📲 Check what it means for you: unisonpaycalculator.co.uk
 Pledge to be part of the plan to win.

Local government unions have rejected the 2026 pay offer and are demanding meaningful pay negotiations in a letter to employers signed by all three unions - UNISON, Unite and GMB. UNISON are balloting members for strike action from 9 July.
