Pay: Join the lobby on 17 October
Published on October 10, 2017 at 1:34 pm
Our Pay Up Now! campaign is putting real pressure on MPs and the government in Westminster to end the pay cap for all public sector workers, and give everyone the pay rises they need and deserve.
That is why UNISON is calling on as many members as possible to join the UNISON / TUC joint lobby of Parliament on 17 October.

UNISON is calling on Chancellor Philip Hammond to start increasing schools funding when he sets next year’s budget in November.
