Just three Labour MPs back calls for higher pay for staff

Parliamentary staff will vote on a motion to ballot for industrial action on 17th February. They won't find any friends on the Labour benches.

The Labour Party has voted against securing higher pay for their staff.

In an Early Day Motion petition, just three of the party’s MPs backed calls to increase pay in line with union demands.

The move by Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Mary Kelly Foy and Grahame Morris comes amid continued lobbying by the Unite Union parliamentary branch, which this morning sent an email to parliamentary staffers asking them to join the strike campaign about staffers’ pay.

The communique, seen by Guido, reiterates the union’s demand for RPI +2 per cent, amid real terms pay cuts and increased workloads.

The union is set to meet again on 17th February when members will vote on a motion to ballot for industrial action.

MPs, they warn, will be the “focus of the ballot”, since they are the sole employer of the staff proposing strike action.

It comes as nurses and ambulance staff walked out together for the first time in what is being described as the biggest walk out in the NHS’s history.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said strikes will continue for “as long as it takes”, while Unite warned of a “constant cycle” of industrial action.

Union leaders implored the Government to act to prevent further strike action but ministers have insisted they cannot afford “inflation-busting pay rises”.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
