local government pay offer

Baldwin Balls

Some of his greater moments

04/11/2004
Quote:quote:
Months after the refurbishment of the Trencherfield Mill engine, Opie’s Museum of Memories will be the first to close in April 2005 making way for the new developments.

It will be followed by the closure of the museum of Victorian life, The Way We Were.

The scheme, developed by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, has caused much concern amongst museum staff and volunteers.

Councillor Brian Baldwin, Wigan council cabinet member for culture argues that times have changed: "The heritage industry is not the draw it once was, especially since free entry to museums was reinstated," he said.
damn that free entry to kultoore!


Quote:quote: "The plans for the regeneration of the Wigan Pier Quarter are exciting and ambitious and the allocation of this funding means they will now begin to take shape. "This redevelopment will add to the prosperity of our borough in many ways through inward investment and new jobs through to top quality leisure and cultural experiences."
(by closing down cultural experiences I guess Sad

been here before? BBC News 6 July, 2002
Quote:quote:Refuse collectors, social workers, school meals staff and other council workers have been warned not to go ahead with a planned strike in a dispute over pay.
More than 1.4 million local government workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have voted for a series of one-day stoppages, with the first scheduled for 17 July.

Local authority employers had offered a 3% pay rise but the unions rejected it and demanded a rise of 6%.
So what does Brian say?
Quote:quote:Councillor Brian Baldwin, chairman of the employers' side, has said no council could afford the "exorbitant" claim and warned that thousands of jobs would be lost if the claim was accepted.

however... how much had they voted themselves?
Quote:quote:...councillors had voted themselves a 60% increase in their allowances and chief executives earned between £60,000 and £160,000 a year.
Ouch...a pitiful rise indeed

Lets come bang up to date..

14/02/2007 from http://www.24dash.com/localgovernment

Quote:quote:Unions representing 1.3 million council workers submitted a pay claim for a 5% rise today with a warning that staff are "angry" about their wage rates.

Brian Strutton, of the GMB, said the claim is "sensible and reasonable" and is affordable as council employees have made over £3 billion-worth of efficiency savings in the past three years.

"We expect a very tough battle ahead, especially as the Chancellor has been trying to cap public sector pay awards at 2% when inflation is running at twice that level.

"Council workers have earned the right to a decent pay rise."
]

So what is the reply?

Quote:quote:Brian Baldwin, for the local authorities, said: "The employers will take a very firm line with the unions that the Government has set a framework for public sector expenditure in the next few years which must be fully reflected in ensuring that pay does not rise above what is affordable and acceptable to local people."

Unions said they could not rule out the threat of industrial action if the pay claim is not met.

Ah well...

Perhaps we should be glad we are not alone.

I am glad to say that I have had several statements of support - where the contractors will at least go to 3% (if not higher) rather than the 2% on offer. I do realise that some groups may be tied to unpleasant deals (is council units etc) but this is not their fault.

Pity that Unison did not get 5% after all! Then the rates would have gone up to the BAJR aspirational level. Companies can't fold - as that would be counter productive.. however if they can afford to (or are in a position to) raise wages .. then lets support them all. But lets not snipe at those that can't... there are often reasons... I don't know of too many people who just like keeping wages low for fun....

lets see what happens... but whatever does happen... I need you to stand by me.... or I could end up looking like a [:o)] or worse actually bring about the [xx(] of BAJR.

If you feel I am being unreasonble... you know where I am... tell me!
