Pay Strike 16th & 17th July 2008 : UNISON members empty your bins, clean your schools, conduct your marriages and civil partnerships, care for your parks, check the safety of your food and look after your children in nurseries, schools and in care. UNISON in Northern Ireland predominantly represents low paid workers in schools, libraries and education & library boards. At the end of extensive negotiations on a fair pay rise for all local government workers, the Government offered a mere 2.45% increase. This in the face of rising prices across the board with inflation offically at 4%. UNISON balloted members and they voted for two days of industrial action to get the Government back to the negotiating table. Here are photos of some of the picket and rallies.
