SCHOOLS across much of Scotland are set to close next week after a union rejected the “best and final” pay offer from council leaders.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities said its “significantly improved in-year offer” would mean workers on the Scottish local government living wage see an in-year uplift of around £2,000, or almost 10%.
Its resources spokeswoman Katie Hagmann said: “I am extremely disappointed with Unison that not only are they recommending rejection of this half a billion pay package – they are putting our communities, especially children and young people, through the turmoil and mayhem of strikes next week.“Throughout negotiations council leaders have re-iterated the value we place on the workforce and the work that they do.
Unions have warned more than three-quarters of schools will close if the strike goes ahead, affecting 26 of Scotland’s 32 council areas.
