It comes as Prospect seeks immediate release of a four percent pay rise
Pressure is mounting on the Public Services Commission, as Unite has rejected a fifth revised pay offer.
At the same time, Prospect is calling for the immediate release of a four percent pay rise, backdated to 1 April 2024.
PSC Chair Rob Callister MHK says it’s disappointing the latest offer wasn’t accepted, but he remains hopeful a resolution can be reached.
Unite’s Negotiating Officer, Debbie Halsall, says the union is now balloting members on potential industrial action:
Department brands loss of Greeba tree 'regrettable'
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
