First Minister Humza Yousaf has urged Unison to suspend strike action across schools in Scotland and to put an improved pay offer to members to…
Unison rejected an improved offer from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities , with membersEssential school staff including cleaners, janitors and support workers have been locked in a pay dispute, with a new offer estimated to cost £580 million.
The additional funds were previously “ringfenced”, and GMB Scotland said Cosla would be held to its assurance that no services will be cut to fund the pay offer.Mr Yousaf said “we have been engaged with Cosla right throughout this process” and insisted flexibility had been given to provide extra funds.
“That will be hugely damaging for pupils and very inconvenient for parents but councils have very little room for manoeuvre, given the way their funding has been consistently undermined by the SNP government.“It has simply been taken out of existing council budgets – so the SNP shouldn’t trumpet it as some kind of extra boost.
“There’s government involvement, government funding – it is a very good offer and I would urge Unison, who I understand continue to have concerns, to follow the other trade unions, suspend strike action and do a consultation with their members.
