HUNDREDS of workers for Scottish Power Energy Network (SPEN) have secured a minimum 5.5 per cent pay rise in a two-year deal following the rejection of the company’s first offer, Unison announced today.

The second year will also see all staff receive a rise of 1.5 per cent plus consumer price index inflation in March 2025, with an agreed range from 3.5 to 5 per cent.

Some will receive an additional increase depending on grading and where they are on the pay matrix under the deal, accepted by 72 per cent of Unite members.
