Glasgow daycare back to work after winning pay grade increase

Striking UNISON Learning and Physical Disability daycare members in Glasgow returned to work this month after narrowly voting to accept an offer from the Council.

The deal wins an increase in pay grades based on the union's involvement in negotiations on service reform. It removes the need for pay protection under the Council's Pay and Benefits Review (Single Status).

Members were concerned about the possible nature of the service reforms which will include the loss of posts at some grades and the creation of other posts at other grades. However the deal secures the central demand that members were asked to take action on.

The negotiations on service reform begin immediately with a commitment that the new pay grades will be applied as soon as there is an agreement on service reform.

UNISON congratulated the strikers for the determination they showed over eight weeks and in achieving the demands on which they were balloted.
