––since 2009 council pay has fallen by 16% after inflation
––those on the lowest pay get little more than the national minimum wage
––over two thirds of LG staff fall below the government’s low pay threshold of £21,000
––local government pay is by far the lowest in the public sector
––more than 75% of the workforce are women so pay inequality is rising
––many council workers are in debt and struggling to pay their bills
