UNISON local news
UNISON is calling for a rise in Boston council staff salaries following recent reports of increasing councillor allowances.
UNISON says the move will mean there are more staff than there are spaces for them to work in, although council leader Rod Bluh doesn’t foresee any significant problems.
He was questioned by UNISON delegate Liz Cameron on why he was supporting the pay policy of the Tories, which had led to a wage freeze for millions of public sector workers.
Christina McAnea, UNISON's head of health, said: "We know that health staff across the country are under incredible pressure. This survey shows that the South West pay cartel's plans could push health workers in the region to breaking point.
Neath Port Talbot Council has now adopted its first social media policy designed in part to explain to staff the correct use of sites such as Twitter and Facebook. At the same time it provides protection for staff who have been attacked through these sites. And leading local government union UNISON has said it will use the new procedures to take legal action against those responsible.
Mike Hayes of UNISON said successive governments had watched as pension provision declined. "An ever decreasing minority of workers in the private sector remain in pension schemes that are frankly not for purpose. Defined contribution schemes don't work as employers pay derisory contributions into them."
