Fair Pay Now for Local Government and Schools workers - write to your councillor and MP

As part of the Local Government and Schools pay campaign UNISON have put a link on their website to make it easy for UNISON members to email their councillors. Here is the link: https://action.unison.org.uk/page/11813/action/1

You can also find your councillor and MP by going to the website: https://www.writetothem.com/ and inputting your postcode.

There is more information about the pay claim on the UNISON national website at: https://www.unison.org.uk/our-campaigns/fair-pay-now-council-school-workers/

Please feel free to personalise the emails by telling your councillors and MPs what your job is and what the impact of low pay has meant for you.

Please do this and encourage all your colleagues to write to their councillors and MPs as well.

The more councillors and MPs that receive letters from public sector workers the more likely they are to support our pay claim.
