\"\"<\/p>\n

Barnet UNISON has secured an early win in our campaign to get the new London Living Wage (LLW) of \u00a314.80<\/strong> paid immediately<\/strong> across outsourced Barnet Council services \u2014 not delayed until April 2026. Following our branch\u2019s letter to contractors delivering council services, Parking Enforcement contractor APCOA has confirmed they will implement the new LLW rate now<\/strong>. (barnetunison.me.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This is exactly why Barnet UNISON keeps pushing, every single year: when pay rises are delayed, it\u2019s low-paid workers who carry the cost \u2014 through higher rent, higher bills, and higher food prices \u2014 while services rely on their dedication every day. (barnetunison.me.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Helen Davies<\/strong>, Barnet UNISON Branch Chair, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really welcome news for our members. It shows what collective pressure can achieve \u2014 when we push, employers move. In a cost of living crisis, workers can\u2019t be told to wait months for money they\u2019ve already earned in rising prices. Barnet UNISON will keep going, year in, year out, to make sure pay rises reach our members\u2019 pockets as soon as possible.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Barnet UNISON will now continue pressing other contractors to follow APCOA\u2019s lead and implement the LLW uplift without delay, because our members \u2014 and Barnet\u2019s services \u2014 can\u2019t afford to wait. (barnetunison.me.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n
