Commenting on the offer being made to the Scottish Joint Council (SJC) Trade Unions today (Monday 3rd April) COSLA’s Resources Spokesperson Councillor Katie Hagmann said: “Following a series of extremely proactive discussions with our SJC Trade Union partners over the past two weeks, and following a special meeting of Council Leaders on Friday, I am delighted that we have been able to put an offer to our SJC Trade Union colleagues this afternoon.
“It is an offer which recognises the vital role of the people who deliver essential services across councils every day and the value that we as employers place on them.
“I hope that SJC Union colleagues will view this as a strong offer which balances the ask of their claim with the need to protect the long- term viability and sustainability of Scottish Local Government and is one that they can take to their membership for consideration.”
