Scotland LGBT+ Newsletter – Spring 2021

Well what a year it has been. Sadly it has been one where many of our colleagues and family members have lost their lives to this dreadful pandemic. One year on, we commemorate with a minutes’ silence those who have been taken from us, and we honour those who have lost their lives whilst fighting to protect others on the frontline.
UNISON is One Team and every member plays their part in keeping services running. No matter what your job role, we are proud of every single one of you for your hard work and dedication to our public services.
We are heartened that the vaccination program gives us hope for the future and some light at the end of this very long tunnel. read more..

Local Government Pay 2021

You will be aware from our previous correspondence that we urged COSLA to improve their current pay offer by today, the normal pay implementation date.  They have not done so.   

Your UNISON Local Government committee have met and agreed that we should reject the offer and mobilise for action. 

It is anticipated that the digital ballot will open on the 12th April and preparations are underway for this.  As part of that we will draft some FAQs and some key messages to help explain the offer and the rationale for the recommendation.  These, and other supporting materials/graphics etc, will come out to you in due course.
