Government must resolve ALL of the current public sector pay disputes

Union body warns ministers against “pick’n’mix” approach to pay deals

Commenting on the announcement today (Tuesday) of government pay talks with some unions, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“At long last it appears the government is edging towards the table after months of dragging their feet.

“It has always been down to them to resolve these disputes.

“But we won’t accept the Conservatives taking a pick’n’mix approach to pay or playing divide and rule with public sector workers.

“They must confirm they will seriously negotiate with every union in dispute, without preconditions.

“Everyone who keeps our public services running deserves a fair deal on pay.”
