SCOTTISH JOINT COUNCIL TRADE UNION SIDE
TRADE UNION SIDE PAY CLAIM 2015/16

The Trade Union Side of the Scottish Joint Council submit to the Annual Meeting of the SJC the following Pay Claim for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016.

1.     A settlement that runs for a period of one year with effect from 1 April 2015
2.     £1 per hour for all employees on all spinal column points
3.     Full consolidation of the Living Wage on an ongoing basis in line with recommendations made by the Living Wage Foundation and also applicable to local authority procurement in the award of contracts.
4.     Early deletion of spinal column points below the level of the Living Wage.


Recent developments regarding consolidation mark real progress towards the Living Wage being the entry point on pay in Local Government. The Trade Union Side welcome the commitment to delete spinal column points below that level, however this now needs to be translated into actual commitments backed up by a Joint Secretaries Circular.
