Dear members
Today, most members will receive an additional £350 in your wages. This is on top of the extra £350 that most of you got last month.
This cost of living payment totalling £700 was offered at ACAS talks between St Mungo’s senior management and Unite. We explained that a payment for this year only was inadequate as the price rises that have already taken place will carry on affecting the value of our wages into the future, so our pay campaign continues.
But please remember that what we have won so far was a result of Unite’s campaign. Unite subs are good value.
We are asking management for a pay increase to restore the real value of our wages to what they were two years ago. There is nothing extravagant or unreasonable about this request.
But the only consolidated (indefinite) offer the management side were willing to offer was worth a total of £145,000 a year for the entire workforce. That’s less than the CEO’s wages.
We say it’s not enough to offer the entire workforce an increase that’s less than one person’s wages. We are happy to negotiate but management need to do better than that.
Everything the Unite team do is done on your behalf. Please support our work by voting in the pay ballot if you haven’t already done so. If you’ve already voted, please put up the attached poster in your workplace to encourage others to do the same.
Best wishes
Jacob
