Officers Vote For Collective Bargaining On Pay

10 July 2024

 

Police officers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of their Federation representatives campaigning for collective bargaining on pay.

More than 50,000 officers responded to a poll run by the Police Federation of England and Wales asking them whether they should pursue negotiation with binding arbitration when determining police pay.

And an astonishing 97.7% of those polled agreed that the PFEW should pursue such rights.

Calum Macleod, PFEW National Secretary, said: “This strong mandate from the membership sets us up to negotiate with the new government a fair and binding pay mechanism.

“Thank you to those who participated. PFEW’s National Council and National Board will begin creating a campaign for the introduction of a fair and binding pay mechanism on the behalf of our members.

“We realise a political agreement to change process can take time, but a new Government allows us the opportunity to take a fresh view on those issues that matter most to our members. We will keep you updated with progress.”

The poll, which ran from 3-21 June for Federated members, received 50,103 responses, with 97.7% in favour of wanting PFEW to campaign for collective bargaining with binding arbitration.
