UNISON is seeking an early meeting with Scottish local government employers to reopen pay talks after a members’ ballot rejected an offer of 1%, with a living wage guarantee.
“We are now considering with our members, and with the other trade unions on the negotiating body, what our next step is in terms of action that might be required to shift the employers,” said a statement from Stephanie Herd, chair of UNISON’s Scottish local government committee, and the union’s Dougie Black, joint union secretary.
“We will want to speak to the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities early on to seek to reopen discussions on pay.”
