Have your Say for Better Pay: 2 minutes to shape your 2026 pay deal - UB NI & ROI

22 September 2025


 

Pay talks for 2026 will begin shortly – and your views will set our priorities at the table.

 

Today we are launching a short, confidential survey to gather your views and expectations. Your answers will directly shape our negotiating strategy and priorities at the bargaining table.

 

Please take just 2 minutes to complete the survey via: https://www.fsunion.org/ub-pay-2025

 

This survey is completely confidential. Your employer will never see individual responses, and your feedback will only be used to strengthen our case

 

Your input ensures the deal we demand truly reflects your needs – from tackling inflation to recognising your contribution,

 

A pay increase should :

  • Tackle rising living costs with a pay increase that keeps pace with inflation
  • Make sure your skills and contribution are recognised
  • Secure a fair outcome for all staff

 

Don’t miss your chance – complete the survey by 20 October to make sure your voice shapes the outcome.

 

Look out for site visits  from your sector committee over the next few weeks.
