In addition to pay, as part of the national claim negotiations over recent years, the trade unions have made repeated attempts to press the employer’s national representatives to address a number of inequalities within the sector; closing the equal pay gap, transparent and fair senior pay arrangements, assimilation and fractionalisation of hourly paid staff onto the national pay spine and a national agreement on disability leave. There have been no national level negotiations or agreements reached on these matters.
This year the trade unions have agreed to submit two jointly agreed claims, which we want to be negotiated concurrently via the New JNCHES machinery.
The claims are for;
1. Pay
2. Pay Related and Equality Matters.
