NJC Pay Claim 2024-25 - 01/03/2024

The NJC Trade Unions (Unite, UNISON and GMB) have submitted their pay claim for local government services (‘Green Book’) employees for 2024-25. Councils are now being consulted on the claim.

The NJC unions’ claim seeks:

  • An increase of at least £3,000 or 10 per cent (whichever is greater) on all spinal column points
  • Reviews of the gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps in local government
  • A two-hour reduction in the working week, with no detriment
  • An additional day of annual leave for personal or well-being purposes (with term-time only staff also receiving a full day rather than a pro rata amount, that they can use at any time, including term time)
  • A phased approach to reaching a minimum pay rate of £15 an hour in a maximum of two years, sooner if possible
