UNISON TO PURSUE 2015 PAY CLAIM......
At the Special Local Government Conference held on 24th March 2015, UNISON agreed to make a claim for a pay rise in 2015. This is despite having agreed a pay deal that was due to run from 1st January 2015 through to April 2016. When this pay agreement was made, many members were very unhappy at the negotiators’ decision to put the employers’ proposal to members given that it was only a proposal and not a proper offer at the time and the proposal did not offer any improvement on the original offer which had clearly been rejected.

WF UAF – EDL visit to Walthamstow 9 May 2015......
On Thursday 2nd April the EDL announced their intention to visit Walthamstow on 9th May 2015.
Currently there is no firm information so we need to be sure we do not overreact. The police have not received an application from the EDL to march. We do not know if this is a real proposal to march or a publicity stunt. The community response via Facebook has been overwhelming: the EDL are not welcome in Walthamstow.
