DWP Pay Debate

All motions were carried unless otherwise noted. Where the branch voted in a different way to conference this will also be noted.


Emergency Motion 5 calls for a further national pay ballot at some point in the future. It gives the option of balloting for DWP action & co-ordinating action with other groups in PCS.


Motion A10 calls for equal pay for opted out members. This disadvantages members who opted in as they would still have to work until 8 and Saturdays but have the same pay as members who don't. Safeguards were built in to ED for members with caring responsibilities, disabilities, etc. This motion was remitted. This means that the GEC can take forward the helpful parts of the motion but not the problematic parts.


Motion A12 calls for pay negotiations on the basis of motion A10. This motion was also lost.
