The area's Unison members will stage the latest action in their pay dispute on November 8
Unison has announced that the local authority area is one of the four where its members in schools and early years centres will walk out in the second week of a rolling programme of action in their ongoing pay dispute.
It comes after South Lanarkshire members were among those who voted for strike action after rejecting the latest pay offer from Cosla, which ranges from a 5.5 per cent increase to 10 per cent for the lowest-paid workers. “The strength of feeling amongst our 91,000 local government members, who voted overwhelmingly to reject Cosla’s latest pay offer, is clear – they are determined to continue to fight to get an improved pay offer.”
“The current offer amounts to a real-terms pay cut and adds further stress to a dedicated workforce already suffering from the cost-of-living crisis.
