PAY 2007

Northumbria Healthcare UNISON is not making any reccomendation on the new pay offer in line with national policy.

George Barron, Branch Secretary and vice-chair of UNISON's Healthcare Executive says;

“UNISON is not saying this is a great deal; it remains below inflation. But it does provide some extra money for the lower paid, for training budgets and to assist those who need professional registration. There is also agreement to enter into further talks on a possible multi-year deal, although we will consult on this separately.

It is the best that can be achieved through negotiation. If members wish to reject this final offer, then they should be prepared to take industrial action, should that be decided in a subsequent ballot.”
