Unions deliver mixed verdict on Scottish NHS pay offer
GMB members reject three-year offer that other unions accept
UNIONS delivered a mixed verdict on the Scottish government’s three-year pay offer for NHS workers today.
Members of Unison, Unite and other health unions voted to accept an offer that would see a 9 per cent pay rise over the period for many workers.
But 98 per cent of GMB members voted against the proposed deal, as GMB Scotland organiser Karen Leonard described the deal as “unfair, unequal and commits members to reforms that are unknown.”
