Pay Bargaining in 2010, a joint TUC/IDS conference, 16 February
The second joint TUC/IDS conference on pay bargaining will be held on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 in Congress House.
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Incomes Data Services (IDS) invite you to attend their third joint conference on pay bargaining, offering your union the chance to attend at a fraction of the normal cost of such events. The first two conferences, held in 2008 and 2009, were widely seen as successes and this event builds on them.
The TUC believes that senior trade union officers and negotiators should have the best advance intelligence about the context for pay bargaining in 2010. This valuable conference will assist you to plan strategically for the pay round as a whole and to identify any issues that are likely to emerge in negotiations.
