Advice sending company-wide email/survey

Hey y'all, I'm based in the UK and work for a fairly large multi-national company. We are not in the type of industry which would come close to unionising (yet…), very corporate. This year we've had almost offensive discussions around salary raises (2%) and are actively discouraged to discuss this with others… I know my rights in this regard but if I was to discuss this it would create a hostile environment for myself. I was thinking of sending out an email to all European staff (using external email address, VPN, and public wifi) basically sending out a salary questionnaire to uncover pay discrepancies and pay rises this year. I plan to then distribute this information via the same channels. I hope this will be the start of bigger conversation and put pressure on the business…and perhaps the start of a unionised workforce. Is there anything I have not considered…


Hey y'all,

I'm based in the UK and work for a fairly large multi-national company. We are not in the type of industry which would come close to unionising (yet…), very corporate.

This year we've had almost offensive discussions around salary raises (2%) and are actively discouraged to discuss this with others… I know my rights in this regard but if I was to discuss this it would create a hostile environment for myself.

I was thinking of sending out an email to all European staff (using external email address, VPN, and public wifi) basically sending out a salary questionnaire to uncover pay discrepancies and pay rises this year.

I plan to then distribute this information via the same channels.

I hope this will be the start of bigger conversation and put pressure on the business…and perhaps the start of a unionised workforce.

Is there anything I have not considered with my plan? Any legal concerns? Open to thoughts, comments, or suggestions!
