After a long-running dispute in the NHS, a pay offer for England was finally negotiated with the Westminster government at the end of last week.

The consultation opens next week and further details – including an extensive Q&A and pay calculator explaining what the deal means in practice – will be included in this email next Wednesday.

Lead negotiator and UNISON's very own head of health Sara Gorton says: "If accepted, the offer would boost pay significantly this year and mean a wage increase next year that's more than the government had budgeted for.

"UNISON will now be putting this offer to the hundreds of thousands of health members in the union, recommending acceptance.”

'Why this offer should be accepted'

This post is for unison members who will be a workplace contact for pay campaigns. This will be an introductory activist position for members who are interested building pay campaigns by receiving and passing on information on UNISON’s pay campaigns to other union members and, hopefully, interesting non-members in finding out more about the union. In doing so, local pay campaign contacts can help to build the union workplace organisation. This should help to strengthen our union, get the vote out in future ballots or consultations and maximise the organising and recruitment potential in UNISON’s pay campaigns.
