Strike in Scotland for Fair Pay

UNISONTV have posted this clip about the Scottish Local Government Strike last week over pay. In Scotland the employers have offered a below inflation rate of 2.5%. After the Strike the employers have called for further talks.

The Scottish pay offer is (a whole) 0.05% more than the rest of the UK and is also tied into a 3 year deal.

In Scotland all 3 Local government unions (UNISON, Unite and GMB) struck which I am sure made a difference to the overall impact.

unusual obsession with the number of people on strike in some London boroughs you have anon. How about the rest of the London Boroughs? Also where are your figures from?
