<p>UNISON has submitted a claim for support staff to the sixth form college employers for 2012/13.<br /> <br />The claim calls for:</p>
<ul>
<li>A substantial increase on all salary scales with a minimum increase of £250 for all staff;</li>
<li>A review of the support staff salary spine;</li>
<li>An additional day’s leave for all support staff.</li>
</ul>
<p>Following last year’s pay freeze, it is vital that there is a pay increase for support staff if they are not to suffer further falls in their standard of living. Whilst we appreciate that we remain in a difficult funding situation in many colleges, an increase for support should be a priority.</p>
<p>Increases in the cost of food and energy costs have a disproportionate impact on the lower paid and this needs to be addressed in college pay policy.<br /> <br/>UNISON is meeting with the Sixth Form College Forum on 19 September to discuss the claim and we will report any developments.</p>
