Scottish local government workers reject pay offer

U.K.

Members of the three main unions representing local government workers in Scotland - UNISON, GMB and Unite - have rejected the employers' 3% pay offer. There were large majorities in each case with also strong support for industrial action. The unions argue that 3% is inadequate after years of pay freezes and the 1% public sector pay cap. The unions will jointly discuss their next steps and the formal process of balloting for industrial action.
