Preparing to build a campaign to reject the offer
More will be discussed in the next few days as the unions havent yet formally shared the details of the offer with all members.
But it is clear to many already that we need to use this opportunity to tell our elected representatives of the unions to reject these proposals as they:
- fall far short of our claim
- mean our members will have actually lost more money this year by taking action than if we had accepted the measily 1%
- tie us into a deal for next year when we do not know what inflation will be, and when in the run up to an election our unions may have had more clout (and which no unions had a mandate for)
Watch this space for more on this over the next week.
