Local government employers have knocked back a bid from the unions for an improved pay offer, insisting it remains ‘full and final’.

In a letter seen by The MJ, the trade union side secretaries urged the employers to return to the negotiating table amid ‘extremely high’ food inflation and energy prices that they said were ‘increasingly unsustainable for workers in councils’.

The letter read: ‘The cost of living crisis continues unabated and this cannot continue.

'The unions remain committed to reaching a negotiated settlement and call on the employers’ side to reconsider its position and return to the table with an improved offer.’
