CIJC Pay Offer 2025 Ballot Paper
Posted on:
Dear member,
Following several negotiation meetings between the CIJC employers’ and your union representatives, the CIJC have made a full and final pay and conditions offer which is set out below. On the basis that this is an above inflation offer your GMB national officer is recommending this offer is accepted. It is important to note that the CIJC sets the MINIMUM rates and you should talk to your GMB officer should you and your colleagues wish to organise to increase the rate at your specific workplace.
- A 3.2% increase to national minimum pay rates and associated allowances. (The relevant allowances are taxed travel and industry sick pay)
- For the "untaxed" elements the increase will be 2.6% based on the March 2025 figure which was published in April 2025. The effective date will be the 30th June 2025. The untaxed elements are subsistence and untaxed travel.
- Sick pay to be increased to £168.59 per week
- Subsistence allowance increased to £51.97 per night
In addition to the above we will establish working groups to discuss:
1. Other Benefits - Pensions, Sick Pay, Holiday Entitlement and Holiday Pay
It was agreed that we would hold exploratory talks on each of these items. These talks will be scheduled to commence in September this year.
It was agreed to examine the differences between our own agreement and the other Agreements within the sector. We would identify opportunities and agree priorities for revision.
2. General Operative Grade and Plant Operator Grading
These issues would be progressed in line with the timetable established above.
3. Modernisation of the Agreement
It was agreed that we would discuss the concept of modernisation. During the negotiations we had briefly explored what “modernisation” meant to both parties and these discussions would continue. During these discussions we will consider Working Rule 13 Highways Maintenance and Working Rule 10 Tunnel Work.
In solidarity,
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs
National Officer
