Yesterday the 麻豆社 met the unions (BECTU, the NUJ and Amicus) to present the final two-year pay offer for 麻豆社 staff. The unions are to ballot their members with a positive recommendation.

The headlines of the 麻豆社's offer are:
听
 A four per cent increase for 2007 and two per cent increase for 2008. These increases will apply to basic pay and allowances
听
A minimum increase of 拢1,000 in year one for staff earning less than 拢25,000
听
Improvements to London weighting, recognising the particular financial challenges staff facing living in the capital
听
The 麻豆社 will defer for a further 12 months any increases in pension fund contributions by staff.
听
Stephen Kelly, Director, 麻豆社 People, said: "I believe this two year offer is fair and realistic.
听
"It offers staff and the 麻豆社 stability and certainty over the next two years in respect of pay at a time of considerable challenge and change for the Corporation.
听
"It also recognises the need for the 麻豆社 to invest in its people whilst investing in services for audiences.
听
"We are pleased that the unions are to ballot with a positive recommendation."
