DEPOT WORKERS – Holiday Pay: One-Week Consultative Ballot Opens Friday

Barnet UNISON is holding a one-week consultative ballot on the council’s revised holiday pay offer. The ballot opens Friday 18 September and closes Thursday 24 September.

The council has increased its offer from six months’ backdated pay to 18 months. UNISON reps for  will be contacting all members directly this week to collect ballot papers and get your vote in straight away.

This is not a pay claim. Members are not asking for more money — this is about being paid for work you have already done. That overtime was worked, it was relied on, and the law says it should have counted towards your holiday pay. The council has withheld that money from the workforce, and this offer still doesn’t cover the full period.

Your reps are recommending REJECT. Eighteen months is an improvement on the original offer, but it is not good enough.
