GMB's full postal ballot of all members in councils, schools and most academies closed today 9th March with a big majority in favour of accepting the offer from the Employers.

94% of GMB members have voted to accept the pay offer.

The turnout for the ballot consultation is one of the biggest we’ve had for some years so a huge thank you to all the GMB post-holders and members who have helped achieve this.

The Trade Union Side will meet in the coming weeks to discuss next steps so further details will follow.

Full details of the offer can be found at: http://www.gmb.org.uk/campaigns/local-government-pay/overview or contact your local branch or GMB rep.
