Budget Proposals
We recently met with the employer regarding the 2025 budget proposals. While we are now aware of the intended proposals and savings, we still have little supporting information. Additionally, we were informed that the list of proposals we reviewed needs further updates. Although we raised concerns during our brief discussion, we hope for more robust discussions as the proposals are confirmed.
Concerns
We understand this is an anxious time for all members across all services, and some of you may already be concerned following the recent community consultations. If any members have concerns, please contact the branch directly or your workplace steward. We are more than happy to meet with you to discuss your concerns. We can also arrange workplace meetings either in person or online.
There will also be a budget update at our AGM on Wednesday 19 February 2025 in the Council Chambers or Online in the evening.
Lobbying
Stirling Council will hold their budget meeting on the 27th of February in the Council Chambers, Viewforth, where proposals will be considered and agreed upon.
Our branch is currently organizing a lobby outside Viewforth before the meeting convenes. We encourage all members who can attend to join us at Viewforth at 9:15 a.m. on the 27th of February.
