Unison urges Glasgow City Council staff to reject pay package
The union says the package leaves lower-grade staff behind and that 23,000 workers could face firing-and-rehiring plans.
- On Monday, UNISON Glasgow City opened balloting for members to vote on a new pay and grading package, urging staff to reject the deal because it "does not go far enough."
- The package follows Glasgow City Council plans to fire and rehire more than 23,000 staff, prompting UNISON to secure an extended three years' pay protection for workers through Scottish government negotiations.
- Branch secretary Chris Sermanni argues the proposal lacks sufficient funding for lower-grade staff, with thousands of job evaluations still pending as members vote without knowing the full impact.
- Council leader Ricky Bell noted both GMB and Unite have agreed to take the deal to their members, aiming to end "pay discrimination" in Glasgow City Council.
- Members have until November 23 to vote, though UNISON warns "important questions remain unanswered" and staff deserve clarity on how the proposals affect them before accepting the council's offer.
