What can you do about the regional pay proposals?

On top of continued pay freezes, the government now wants to change the way pay is set in the public sector. Instead of a fair, transparent national system, they want local or regional pay that would mean different rates for people doing exactly the same jobs, just because of where they live.

Please help us show the level of concern across the country about the government's proposals. Here are some suggestions on how you could get your voice heard:

• Write to your MP to set out your concerns about regional pay and ask them to take a stand
• Go and meet your MP to explain your concerns in person. Most MPs hold surgeries in their constituencies on Fridays or Saturdays where you can make an appointment or pop in to see them
• Write to your local paper to make your case
• Ask your local council to support the campaign. We've got a model motion that you might find useful.
