Local government pay deal at last

All the local government trade unions have now agreed to the Scottish Local Government Employers final pay offer of 2.95% from April 2004 plus 2.95% from April 2005.

UNISON members accepted the offer in a consultation in June this year but T&GWU and GMB members were ballotted on industrial action.

This has been rejected by members of both unions. Local government organiser Joe Di Paola has now written to the employers accepting their pay offer and asking them to advise constituent local authorities as a matter of urgency, so that the rise and any back money can be paid as soon as possible.

Check with your local branch for details.
