We received an update on pay
late last week from our colleagues at UNISON Scotland.
The Scottish Joint Council
Steering Group met with COSLA last Wednesday and they have tabled an offer but
as far as the trade unions are concerned discussions are ongoing. Both UNISON Scotland and COSLA have written
to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance pressing him for more money for local government
and emphasising the need for parity of treatment across the local authority
bargaining groups - local authorities, teachers, craft and chief officials. UNISON has sought further negotiations in
pursuit of our full claim.
We’ll get a further update
once the outcome of those representations is known and the Branch Secretary
will get a full update at the Local Government conference on 13 April which he’ll
share with everyone afterwards.
