UNISON is defending and improving members’ pay within Local Government.
For many workers in local government and schools, pay and conditions are determined the National Joint Council (NJC). The NJC covers over 1.5 million local government and school workers making it the largest negotiating body in the UK.
The NJC is made up of representatives from UNISON and other trade unions and the employers. The agreements reached are contained in the “Green Book” which is available to download from the Local Government Association. UNISON has over half the trade union seats on the NJC; making us the majority union.

The pay spines for NJC employees in inner and outer London include consolidated London Weighting. Find out more here.
