TODAY: PAY BALLOT BRIEFING

We look forward to seeing you today at our in-person pay ballot briefing. Momentum is really starting to build amongst educators and other public service workers for substantial pay awards across the sectors.

There was a big turnout for the TUC demonstration held on Saturday which got good coverage in the mainstream media and showed there is a real mood across the country for action on pay.

In the NEU, we mean to work with members to ensure we get the best possible indicative ballot result so that we can pressure the government to award the pay rises our members need and are entitled to.

All our data shows that Reps play the most important role in delivering a good ballot result, particularly where you have been able to attend our meetings.

Pay is the single issue on the agenda, so we aim to finish by 6pm, and we will have materials for you to take away.

We will set up a Zoom link for those unable to attend in person.

This will be our last General Members meeting this year.
