It'll only set up the group if unions accept the three-year pay deal
The Public Services Commission is proposing to establish a joint 'working party' to address 'broader issues' with public service terms and conditions of employment.
However, this will only happen if unions accept the revised three-year deal proposed last week.
Issues identified to be part of the remit of the 'working party' would include the living wage, flexible working and harmonising annual leave for new starters.
Trade union Prospect thinks the latest offer is unlikely to be supported by its members.
Negotiations Officer Mick Hewer says the PSC should be looking to improve conditions regardless:
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
New board members sought for abattoir
Controversial local authority legislation debate deferred to end of March
