A joint trade union group, including Unison, Unite and the GMB, is seeking a £2,000 flat rate pay increase or 6%, whichever is greater, from Scotland's local authority umbrella body Cosla.
Johanna Baxter, of Unison, said more than half of local government workers earned under £25,000 a year and many were at "breaking point". A spokesman said: "We appreciate everything that local government workers have been doing, and continue to do, to support people and communities during the pandemic and as we begin to recover. We continue with ongoing constructive negotiations."Earlier, the AGM of the RMT union confirmed plans for strike action by ScotRail staff from 1 to 12 November, almost the entire duration of the summit.
"ScotRail, with the full support of the Scottish government, has tried a number of times to reach a deal with the RMT leadership - as of yesterday, the offer being made to its members consisted of a 4.7% pay increase over this and next year, a £300 payment for COP26, an additional payment equivalent to three hours salary for booking on for a Rest Day shift for the rest of the year.
Let them all go on strike in Scotland, Move COP26 to another part of Uk, Security can quickly be switched as all officials involved would just transfer to new location the weekend before, guests can go anywhere. Try Isle of white or Anglesey which could easily be secured
