GMB Scotland and Unite have accepted COSLA's pay offer. Unison members have rejected the deal and will strike next month in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
School and nursery support staff in four council areas will go on strike next month amid a dispute over pay, a union has announced. Unison members in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde will walk out on Wednesday 1 November. The union has warned this is the first part of a rolling programme of industrial action that will take place over the coming weeks unless a new deal is offered by local government umbrella body COSLA.
'COSLA and the Scottish government need to give school staff a decent wage rise, fund any increase properly and commit to implementing a pay rate of £15 per hour for all local government workers.' COSLA's offer represented a minimum wage increase of £2,006 for those on the Scottish government's living wage and a minimum increase of £1,929 for workers who were earning above the living wage. The living wage of £10.85 would have risen to £11.
