Council workers in West Dunbartonshire are considering a better pay rise offer from the Scottish Government - with West Dunbartonshire Council saying they ‘desperately’ need funding from the Scottish Government to manage the proposed improved offer.
Last Friday saw local authority body, Cosla, offer West Dunbartonshire Council workers a five percent pay rise offer and a minimum hourly rate of £10.50 after the unions, GMB, Unison and Unite, rejected the previous offer of a three-and-a-half percent increase.
The improved pay offer was confirmed at a special Cosla meeting of council leaders after Cosla’s SNP president broke the voting deadlock of 16 a-piece to carry the motion over.
