Unions agree local government pay claim

U.K.

A key element of this year's pay claim from local government unions will be a £1,000 (€1,400) flat-rate pay increase for all workers. This would produce a minimum hourly rate of £6.30 (€9.35) for the sector. The unions are also looking for a standard 35-hour week without loss of pay and minimum paid holiday entitlement of 25 days a year. The current agreement runs until 31 March 2007 and unions this time want a 12-month agreement rather than a three-year deal.
