Local Government Pay Matters Members’ Survey 2013......
Please complete the survey below to help further our campaign for a decent pay rise this year. It is a short survey and should be quick to complete. The survey ends Friday 8 February.
It is vital that we get as many members to complete the survey as possible so that we can strengthen our negotiations with the Employer and support our case for a decent pay rise in the press and media.
