UNISON, and the other joint FE trade unions, has lodged the pay claim for 2017-18. This pay claim calls for a pay rise of RPI plus 3% with a minimum increase of £900. The pay claim also calls for the minimum pay rate to be the living wage foundation rate of £8.45 or £9.75 in London.
The pay claim also calls for agreement on a number of related matters that affect our members at work. In particular workload and the amount of professional development that staff receive each year; class sizes; the use of agency staff and national guidelines on non-lecturer curriculum delivery staff.
The first National Joint Forum pay negotiation will be on 17 May 2017 and further updates will follow.
