Strike for fair pay

UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis joined members in
Westminster to demonstrate just how poorly their 2.45% pay offer stacks up against inflation.

1st August 2008

Dave Prentis,
UNISON's general secretary

A strike ballot covering our 100,000 local government members in Scotland closes later this week.

They have been offered and rejected pay increases of 2.5% for each of the next three years. Members of GMB and Unite are also being balloted for action over the pay offer.

We are obviously willing to meet Scottish local council employers at any time to negotiate an improved offer.

Our campaign for our members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will continue. We have postponed naming a further strike day to allow talks with the employers to take place.
