This Council supports the NJC pay claim for 2018, submitted by UNISON, GMB and UNITE on behalf of council and school workers subject to the additional costs being provided for in future Local Government and associated funding settlements.
Councillor R Bell informed Council that the Motion did not say what the pay claim was and expressed concern it could undermine the employers side of negotiations. He added that he had a lot of sympathy for council and school workers, especially those not on incremental points.
Councillor Hopgood moved a Motion without Notice to adjourn the debate. The Motion moved by Councillor Surtees contained no detail of financial implications. While being supportive of what the Motion wanted to achieve, because of the lack of detail contained within it, the debate should be adjourned and the Motion brought back with more detail included.
Seconded by Councillor Temple.
Upon a vote being taken the Motion without Notice was Lost.
Upon a further vote being taken the substantive Motion was Carried.
