- Decision
- Carried
This Conference believes that a successful pay campaign needs to be conducted prior to the wage year rather than during it. To be balloting for industrial action in October 2007 to take action in November, eight months after the wage claim should have been implemented was a recipe for failure.
In future our claim needs to be lodged in good time and negotiated such that, if agreement is not reached, any industrial action that needs to be taken will start no later than April of that wage year.
This policy to apply immediately to the wage claim for year 2009 onwards.
