Would you work one day a week for no pay? That's what council and school staff are being asked to accept. With real terms pay down 28%, we say 3.3% is not enough. Help improve the offer; sign the pledge today and be part of the plan to win. unsn.uk/3RVhtNR

Local government unions have rejected the 2026 pay offer and are demanding meaningful pay negotiations in a letter to employers signed by all three unions - UNISON, Unite and GMB. UNISON are balloting members for strike action from 9 July.

Letter to the Employers’ Side Secretary, Naomi Cooke, 28 May:
Dear Naomi

The NJC Trade Union Side are writing further in response to your letter of 24March 2026, making a full and final offer of a 3.3% pay increase from 1 April.

All three unions firmly reject this pay offer. Our members remain dismayed and angered at the offer, which fails to make up ground on the loss of the real value of their pay over the last 16 years, and is far below what they need and deserve.

We believe that the most recent financial settlement offers scope for a better offer.

Moreover, we wish to reiterate our disappointment at the National Employers’continual refusal to engage in meaningful pay negotiations.

Given our unions’ rejection of the offer, we urge you to engage in meaningful negotiations on the2026/27 pay award as a matter of urgency.

Yours sincerely,
Kevin Brandstatter GMB
Clare Keogh UNITE
Mike Short UNISON
Trade Union Side Secretaries

It’s time to properly fund our NHS and stop the privatisation

Richard Burgon MP

PFI in our NHS was a costly disaster. It funnelled billions away from patient care and into the pockets of private firms. I've written to the new Health Secretary urging him to ditch Wes Streeting's plan to use private finance schemes to build new neighbourhood health centres.

I was proud to march with hundreds of thousands in London today for Palestine and against the far-right. In the labour movement, we know an injury to one is an injury to all. And we reject the racist logic that says some lives are worth more than others ✊🇵🇸
