Dear Naomi,

PAY PROPOSAL 2022

At a meeting of our Executive Council yesterday, we heard reports from discussions with our members on your pay proposals. The result was a unanimous rejection of the proposal. We have not yet heard back from FOA. However, that will not alter the outcome, and the employees’ side of the NJC rejects the employers’ offer. Please inform your colleagues accordingly.

Yours sincerely

Matt Wrack

General Secretary
