It'll only set up the group if unions accept the three-year pay deal
The Public Services Commission is proposing to establish a joint 'working party' to address 'broader issues' with public service terms and conditions of employment.
However, this will only happen if unions accept the revised three-year deal proposed last week.

Trade union Prospect thinks the latest offer is unlikely to be supported by its members.
Negotiations Officer Mick Hewer says the PSC should be looking to improve conditions regardless:
