Pay 2008 - get your views known
The second and final stage of the current pay
settlement expires on 31 March 2008. The Trade Union Side of the
Scottish Joint Council shall be required to submit a pay and conditions
of employment claim to the Scottish Employers at the Annual meeting
of the Scottish Joint Council to be held on 14th November,
2007.
Branches have been asked to consult as widely
as possible with members regarding size, shape, content and length
of settlement of the 2008 pay and conditions of employment claim.
Branches have been asked to complete a questionnaire
to be returned by no later than 12:00 noon on Friday 3 August
2007.
Members should make their views known to their
branches through the consultation processes branches are using,
or by the usual communication methods, for example by contacting
their steward
The claim affects members who will directly benefit
from the Local Government pay settlement, that is....
- Those who are directly conditioned to the Scottish Joint Council
for local government employees (former manual workers and APT&C
staff).
- This may include those staff in the voluntary and related
sector and those members who work for organisations where the
services that have been contracted out, whose contracts specify
that they are conditioned to Scottish Joint Council pay award.
It does not affect members covered by other
agreements
- such as those members employed in Colleges of Further Education,
Police Authorities, Chief Officials and Craft Workers.
- Nor does it include members on locally agreed pay rates or
on individual contracts not directly related to the Scottish
Joint Council be consulted.
There will then be a meeting of the Scottish
Local Government Committee on 20th August 2007
to consider the result of the branch consultation exercise and
approve the proposed UNISON's claim. The proposal will then be
submitted to the Trade Union Side of the SJC for consideration
to agree a pay and conditions claim on behalf of the three trade
unions.
