Glasgow City Council and Unison reach agreement in pay and grading row

Glasgow City Council and Unison, the largest union representing council workers, have come to an agreement regarding a dispute over pay and grading. This resolution means the council no longer plans to proceed with firing and rehiring its workforce of over 23,000 employees.

The disagreement originated from the introduction of a new pay and grading framework aimed at addressing longstanding problems connected to numerous equal pay claims made by current and former female staff members. The new structure was intended to resolve these underlying issues.

Unison has indicated that discussions are still ongoing, and it plans to hold a ballot among its members later in the month to determine their stance moving forward. The union’s involvement remains pivotal in finalizing the agreement.

Further updates on the situation will be shared as they become available. Readers are encouraged to check back for the most comprehensive and current information on this developing story
