Unison announced another wave of action on Wednesday.
There is no more funding for a new pay offer to striking school staff in Scotland, the First Minister said as a new wave of action was announced.
“We have significant additional funding in order to get a really good pay deal on the table for our local government workers, and that’s why two out of three trade unions have accepted the deal.” Unison Scotland’s head of local government Johanna Baxter said: “Despite our repeated calls for Cosla and the Scottish Government to get back round the table for meaningful discussions, we have had no invitations to even exploratory talks.“There is still time for Cosla and the Scottish Government to get back round the negotiating table to explore every avenue to reaching a negotiated settlement and avoid further disruption for parents and students.
“Cosla and the Scottish Government need to give school staff a decent wage rise, fund any increase properly and commit to implementing a minimum underpinning rate of pay of £15 per hour for all local government workers.” “Finally, offering almost 10%, or a £2,006 pay increase for our lowest paid workers, which the unions specifically asked for, and £1,929, or at least 5.5%, for everyone else is as far as local government can go without impacting on essential services and jobs locally.”
