 The Scottish Local Government Conference which met on Tuesday received the result of the branch and member consultation on industrial action, this resulted in a rejection of a programme of industrial action against the employers actions. However what it did clearly highlight is that members clearly were concerned about pay but that their priorities at this time was to protect and defend their jobs and services.

A formal dispute has today been lodged with the employers in respect of their imposition of a non negotiated pay award. We would clearly hope that they would wish to meet with the trade unions to seek a resolution, however failing that the matter will be referred to ACAS for arbitration.

 The Scottish Employers have today withdrawn the offer made to SJC employees and now intend to impose the following;

2010/11  0.65%

2011/12  0%

2012/13  0%

 The Joint Secretaries and Chair of the Trade Union Side met with the employers yesterday where we sought further discussions on reshaping and re distribution of the current offer. At no time did the employers indicate that they intended to withdraw the offer and impose a lesser one.

The current pay settlement expires on 31 March 2010. This is therefore the sixth pay claim and set of negotiations under the separate Scottish bargaining machinery of the Scottish Joint Council for Local Government Employees and the Scottish Executive’s financial arrangements.       

The trade union’s claim seeks:

·         A settlement that runs for a period of one year with effect from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011

·         An increase of 3% or £600 on all Spinal Column Points whichever is the greater

·         Any settlement should be weighted towards the lower paid

·         A minimum wage of £7 per hour should apply in line with the Scottish Living Wage Campaign

·         Community and Voluntary organisations that apply SJC conditions should be encouraged to apply any settlement agreed through the SJC
