Commenting following a meeting of Council Leaders today (Friday) Councillor Katie Hagmann, COSLA’s Resources Spokesperson, said:

“We had a good positive meeting of Council Leaders earlier today at which they once again reiterated how much they value the whole of the Local Government workforce.

“In relation to this year’s pay negotiations for the SJC workforce, we discussed options for concluding these negotiations as soon as the outcome of current ballots are known, and to this end, there was agreement to hold a special meeting of Leaders as soon as we possibly can.”
