UNISON and other local government unions met with COSLA last Thursday to discuss Scottish local government pay.
COSLA set out a few options but as they stand, they do not come near the aspirations set out in our pay claim and significant movement would be required for an agreement to be reached.
To avoid long protracted talks and a repeat of last year’s long delays we have agreed to hold a series of weekly meetings, additionally, Council leaders have provided a mandate to their resource spokesperson which includes the authority to make an offer within the agreed remit without further reference to Leaders (see attached correspondence).
So far talks have been held in a constructive manner with the next meeting set for Thursday 9th May 2024.
We will keep members updated going forward.
Best wishes,
Lorraine Thomson
