LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS / SOUTH EAST EMPLOYERS PAY ROADSHOW:

Options for 3 year deal:

  • Just a simple one year pay deal (Perhaps reform is just too difficult in tight economic context)
  • Attempt to achieve major strategic reform in a "big bang" as part of a three year deal
  • Begin to address reform agenda with clear signal that 2008 deal is the first part of a process (We might want changes to premium payments and sick pay and reform of negotiating machinery in return for improvements to annual leave, maternity and paternity, for example

Key questions for you to consider prior to the meeting:

  • What is in your authority's budget for pay increases in 2008?
  • Which of the three options for 2008 would you like us to pursue?
  • Would you be prepared to accept an element of bottom-loading to achieve a deal?
  • Would you like us to attempt to negotiate the abolition of the JNC for Craft Workers or other JNC as a priority?
