National pay agreement 2010
The BPIF (Print Employers Organisation) have told Unite
they have “no mandate” from their companies to offer a pay increase
for 2010.
* In 2009 thousands of Unite members working in print made
sacrifices to save jobs and companies – when inflation was below
0%
* Inflation (RPI) is now 3.7%
*Unite’s negotiating panel - consisting of lay reps and
officials - has described the BPIF’s decision as "irresponsible,
short sighted and not in the best interests of the industry".
* The BPIF agreed with us that some companies have used the
recession to needlessly drive down pay and conditions.
*We agree with the BPIF - the outlook for the printing industry
is getting better.
*Your union reps have been written to and asked to call chapel
meetings and to make a pay claim with your company for 3.7% for
2010.
*Unite will support chapels and members to secure a pay increase
for 2010.
