Fair Pay, No Delay, Restore the Local Pay Cuts TODAY
📉 What happened?
In 2012, Doncaster Council imposed local pay cuts — separate from national agreements.
- Staff earning under £14,733 were not affected.
- Everyone earning more had their salary cut by 1% to 2.5%, depending on their pay.
- These cuts were permanent and were never reversed.
📈 What happened next?
From 2013 onwards, Doncaster Council did follow the national NJC pay awards — so yes, Doncaster Council workers got the annual increases negotiated nationally.
BUT those increases were applied to already-reduced salaries.
That means: if your pay was cut in 2012, you’ve been behind ever since — and you’re still behind today.
Why is this important?
💸 What does that mean for you?
- A worker earning just over £15,000 in 2012 lost around £300 per year from the cut.
- Even with NJC pay rises, they’re still earning less than they would have — because they started from a lower point.
- Over 12 years, that adds up to thousands of pounds in lost earnings.
⚖️ This is about fairness.
Doncaster workers have been treated differently — and worse — than council workers in other areas.
We believe that’s unacceptable.
We believe that needs to change.
We believe that needs to change.
We’re calling on Doncaster Council to:
- Review the long-term impact of the 2012 cuts
- Begin a process to restore pay for affected staff
