Local government employers in Scotland have made a new pay offer in an effort to resolve the ongoing pay dispute.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) has offered a 3.2% pay uplift at all pay points, for a one-year period of 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.
COSLA’s Resources Spokesperson, Cllr Katie Hagmann, said: ‘Following ongoing and constructive engagement with our Scottish Joint Council (SJC) Trade Unions, COSLA has today (18th July) written formally to the Trade Unions with a revised pay offer for the SJC Local Government workforce.’
She added: ‘This strong offer is worth more than the first year of the Scottish Government’s current Public Sector Pay Policy. It is a strong, fair and credible pay offer, reflecting the high value council Leaders place on the Local Government workforce and the invaluable work they do every day serving communities across Scotland.’
