Inverurie rally told dispute can be won

Inverurie pickets show the small amount of groceries a low paid member could afford to buy with the pay offer after three years. "It comes to less than £10 and inflation would wipe that out", said Branch Chair Kate Ramsden (second left)

This dispute can be won. "The outcome is in our hands, we must keep up the pressure for fair pay for our members", UNISON Scottish Organiser John Keggie told the rally in Inverurie which got wide television and press coverage.

Bob Revie, Branch Secretary and also one of the pay negotiators, added, "Perhaps now the employers have seen the strength of our members' feelings across the three unions and across Scotland, they will change their mind".
