A leading trade union is being urged to accept the latest pay deal on behalf of its members in a bid to prevent hundreds from facing poverty this Christmas.
It would also offer a minimum increase of £1 for an hour for their colleagues. But Unison previously encouraged its members to reject the offer leading to strike action and schools closed last month. A final decision on the offer is expected to be made by COSLA but GMB convenor Chris Mitchell is worried how this will affect his members over Christmas if an agreement isn’t reached. He also says COSLA has the power to impose the pay offer if Unison don’t accept it.
“We made it clear that we always wanted a flat rate to take low paid workers out of poverty. That is something we have achieved over the last two years. “If we continue with the flat rate we are going to be at the flat rate very shortly but I believe it is a separate issue.
