School Support Staff (UNISON) Strike Calendar

Council leaders had earlier agreed on a modified offer, with the promise that it would be backdated to April for all staff rather than just some. Cosla said this was due to additional "one-off funding" of £17.2m from the Scottish government and urged Unison to call off strike action.

They are now being recommended to accept the offer, with Unison saying it has secured an additional £100m for local government workers.

"The commitment to delivering a minimum rate of pay of £15 per hour for all local government workers by April 2026 will go a long way to tackling low pay across the sector. "Backdating the full offer to April this year will see an improvement for four in 10 local government workers."
