GMB Scotland: Council workers must now get their money urgently Friday November 3 2023

GMB Scotland welcomed the pay rise for council workers announced today but warned the money must be paid urgently.

"We've got to survive as well; we've got to have enough money in our pockets as employees, not just to survive, but to live."

Tommy Robertson, GMB Rep in South Ayrshire explains why he & his members are prepared to take action if there is no improved local government pay offer.

 

“If Councillors want to bring a first class event to the city, they can’t give our members a second class pay offer.”

GMB Scotland Senior Organiser for Public Services Keir Greenaway speaks to Good Morning Scotland this morning, about Local Government pay.

Local Government 2022/23 Pay Offer – What it means for you?

Pay offers can often mean different things to workers and this is especially true in Scottish local government, where you could be a full-time, part-time or term-time employee.

This can lead to confusion and that’s why we’ve tried to cut through this so you can get the information about what this offer means for you.
