TUC warns Chancellor over resurrecting plans for regional pay dlvr.it/BR8ftJ
Trade union members were great at raising awareness of the many impracticalities & negative consequences of regional & localised pay.
Councils in every region passed motions opposing regional and localised pay plans. Regularly winning local cross party support too.
Trade unions in @swtuc area worked incredibly hard fighting additional regional & localised pay cartel plans. They succeeded.
As well as @LibDems, hats off to @UKLabour @Plaid_Cymru @theSNP, @SDLPlive & quite a few @Conservatives MPs who opposed regional pay.
