TRADE unionists representing Scotland’s council workers have written to Holyrood ministers and local authorities to warn that staff are continuing to struggle to put food on the table during months of stalled pay talks.
Public service union Unison has written to Finance Secretary Kate Forbes and local government leaders to warn of looming industrial action if they fail to improve their pay offer to local government workers.
Ms Forbes met with council umbrella group Cosla today to discuss local government funding, as Unison warned that workers are suffering with no pay deal imminent.
