Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

MPs call on local government employers to make improved pay offer

Full marks to our former UNISON President, Dave Anderson MP for tabling Early Day Motion 1867 on the Local Government Pay Negotiations.

Even though this repeats that the "revised proposals" from the May meeting were originated by the trade unions (which is not quite how the trade union side put it) it does the right thing in calling upon the local government employers to make an improved offer.

However with MPs off for their holidays we need to decide what we will now do ourselves.

Hat tip Stoke UNISON.
