Scottish local government 


Unions representing council staff in Scotland are recommended that members reject the latest pay offer from the employers’ association COSLA, 3% for all local government workers earning up to £80,000. 


Unions say this is below inflation and does not improve low pay, while equity within the wider public sector is also a concern.


The Scottish Government has found an additional £25 million for teachers pay, which, they say, will result in some teachers receiving over 10%, but no additional money to address low pay in local government.
