🚨The Civil Service pay system is broken beyond repair and needs reform🚨
@mikeclancy1 has written to the Minister for the Cabinet Office alongside @FDAGenSec today to express our concerns over the current system and to request a meeting as a matter of urgency.
"We want to see a pay structure that rewards talent, knowledge and expertise so that the civil service can recruit and retain skilled staff."
More on our joint letter to the Cabinet Office Minister with @FDA_union in @CSWnews

General Secretary @mikeclancy1:
"We welcome this offer by the government which in principle addresses the three issues at the heart of this dispute.
We will now consult our public service reps on the substance of the offer and formally respond to the government in due course.”
Following our members' industrial action in the Civil Service, the government has made an improved offer of a £1,500 payment for 2022/23 to recognise the cost-of-living crisis.

Mike Clancy, the general secretary of Prospect, which represents tens of thousands of technical and specialist staff such as government scientists, said his union was entering these talks in good faith, hence our calling off the strike action due 7 June https://t.co/CRbMRKWft7
Throughout this dispute, we have been clear that:
▶️ our members should not be treated worse than other workers in the public sector.
▶️ they deserve a pay deal that recognises the cost-of-living crisis that began last year.

🚨 NEW: The government has offered to engage in meaningful talks with us on Civil Service pay. We have therefore paused planned strike action due to take place on 7 June.

@uksciencechief@UKHSA Any help pushing for one-off lump sums that have been offered to teaching and health workers would be appreciated. The civil service have been treated worse than other public sector organisations @ProspectDiamond @ProspectDHSC @ProspectMetO@ProspectUKRI
The FDA union chief said the Cabinet Office had indicated during pay talks that civil servants would get a cost-of-living boost like NHS and teacher offers but that "fell apart in 24 hours"
