Scottish Qualifications Authority (UNITE) Strike Calendar

The revised offer which was accepted by Unite members will mean a 5.75 per cent pay increase in 2023, and 3.15 per cent for 2024 along with a £1,000 cash lump sum. This represents a significant improvement on the initial pay offer of 4.75 per cent for 2023 by the SQA.

Unite has also raised its ongoing concerns over the education body’s failure along with the Scottish government to meaningfully consult with unions on education reform. Unite has raised specific concerns over the scrapping of the SQA, and the lack of assurances over job roles and locations, conditions and pay of the existing SQA workforce, in any new organisation.
