Across Scotland, local councils are leading an assault on the foundations of public-sector work. Aberdeen City Council are planning to unilaterally impose a 35-hour workweek, cutting workers’ wages by up to 104 hours per year. This will impact roughly 3,300 roles if this disgraceful proposal goes ahead.
