Nursery workers have successfully negotiated a fair pay and grading claim with Ealing Council in west London. The deal, which will result in nursery officers receiving an average 3,500 pay rise, follows a one-day strike in June and 17 months of talks between the Ealing branch of the public services union Unison and Ealing Council education and social services management. The 46 nursery officers, working with vulnerable children in the council's four nursery centres, will receive full backdated pay to 1 April 2001 and a one-off payment of 1,000 each for injury to feelings. Under the new system they will be earning approximately 19,200.
