it's usually delayed until the summer so that the pay rise looks good when we get it backdated :left:
most people only hear the words "lump sum" and wet their pants regardless of what it's for

I don't think union are pushing for pay rise this year , they are trying to reduce our working week to 35 hours with no loss in pay which is a pay rise in itself .

That doesn't help when the cost of living is going up :arrrghhh From what i've read on here the reduction in hours would be spread over a few years anyway

How would a reduction in full time hours increase my pay as a part timer?

In order to reduce hours with no loss of pay they would have to either increase hourly rate. Or full timers would receive a supplement. Presume the union is pushing for hourly rate, which would mean everyone benefits including part-timers.

More than likely will not be sorted out until the Autumn. They usually like to make back dated pay around that time so that it deters people from striking over the xmas build up.

Thats not a pay rise unless you're planning on taking up a second job.
