No frothing at all and agree wholeheartedly. I think there is a moral responsibility to backdate pay if (and I stress if) it was made clear that pay award was pending and nothing was implemented in April. It is also illegal to discriminate between against staff on the same grade on permanent or short-term contracts. It is of course perfectly legal to have different terms and conditions for different staff grades within organisations.
Of course virtuous souls (such as oursleves [8D])who are not tied to Councils and don't see the point in waiting to give pay increases, independently implement pay rises for all staff from April anyway, and indeed now find themselves well ahead of the measly amount represented by the local government settlement.
