Binmen and teachers are employed by their local authorities and pay settlements will come from them, as they presumably always have done.

GiGi Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 28 minutes ago, alta-pete said: All of this is correct. And sorry if I’m being unclear, but the bit I was taking slight umbrage at was the SG pulling the NHS 4% payrise out of the hat on the day of the dissolution of parliament without addressing how other key workers would - reasonably? - expect some sort of parity, no? I think SG are in for a fairly big fight with just about every other Union early in the next term I’m afraid. Even the trains staff are now under SG’s direct control, best of luck with dealing with ASLEF! Looks like they were already under fire for trying to delay pay negotiations until recently. https://www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-events/news/scotland-nhs-scotland-pay-negotiations-11-march-2021 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're continually using cash that should be going somewhere else to gain popularity. 6 hours ago, Baxter Parp said: So you knew? Even Big Jock knew.

Paco Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Scottish NHS hits the end of a three-year pay deal on April 1st. Pay was always going to be an issue right now, and the SG have chosen to be relatively generous. Good for them. Teachers in Scotland signed up to a three-year pay deal in 2019 so can look for more in 2022 if they so desire. You’d presume they will, and good luck to them. Police in Scotland received a backdated 6.5% pay increase in June 2020 for the spell between September 2018-March 2021. I’d presume they’ll be looking for a small uplift in any new pay deal, why wouldn’t they, but have effectively already had their ‘reward’, and very generous it was too. Binmen are paid by councils, with varying rates across the country. As far as I can see they’re not isolated in terms of pay, so will be included in any general council pay deals. Good luck to them.But why let reality get in the way of criticism of the government *checks notes* giving reasonable pay rises to people who have been on the frontline of all this for over a year? 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 BBC Scotland make no secret of the fact they're pro-Union and anti-SNP/Indy. I'm not sure why, in 2021, people still appear to be taken aback by this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 On this morning's GMS a gadge phones in to say that his sister is a senior nurse and she was happy with the 1% and that the 4% is a political stunt and that his sister will give it away to charity. Who knew that Murdo Fraser's sister was a nurse? Aye right Murdo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
