This government promised us 'the biggest wave of insourcing of public services in a generation' 🌊

Have you seen it?! We definitely haven't. 🧐

BUT now that the government are planning changes to the Procurement Act, we've got a chance to put the pressure on. 💪

Take action now. 👇

UNISON Scotland stands firm. #Equality #LabourLink #UNISON #Scotland

Thanks to @katysclark.bsky.social for raising the issue of @unisonmedia.bsky.social Enable strikers at #FMQs today. The Scottish Government can and should be doing more to deliver £15 per hour for care workers.

Tricia McArthur @unisonmedia.bsky.social branch sec nails it. Who is serious about resolving @scottishwater.bsky.social strike? Not management. Unions spent 3.5 hours last night trying to get somewhere, only to be offered £30 extra year 2, paid for by a £15 per week cut to standby in current offer.

Solid even!

olid picket @ Partick Pumping Station. Workers are holding the line for fair pay. @scottishwater.bsky.social & @johnswinney.bsky.social need to get this sorted. Members want to be delivering a world class water service, not striking. Money was there then disappeared. Why??? @unisonmedia.bsky.social

Meanwhile we will keep turning back the tankers as workers show solidarity. ✊️

Are you listening @scottishwater.bsky.social & @johnswinney.bsky.social all Craig wants is fair pay in #FairWork Scotland! Time to stop wasting money & time and get the missing money back on the table. @unisonmedia.bsky.social

Solid joint picket at Shieldhall in Govan. There's a week of action unless @johnswinney.bsky.social tells @scottishwater.bsky.social to get the withdrawn money back on the table and get serious about resolving this dispute. Visit a picket, details at unison-scotland.org/scottish-wat...

Tricia McArthur @unisonmedia.bsky.social Branch Secretary sets out why @scottishwater.bsky.social workers are out on strike strike for 7 days from today fighting for decent pay. Management rather than improve an offer took money off the table! Visit a picketline & get to Shieldhall 10am Wednesday!

A solid joint union picket at @scottishwater.bsky.social Partick Pumping Station. Our @unison.org.uk members are standing up and striking for #FairPay. Time for the executives to negotiate a fair settlement with the workers via their unions. @scottishgov.bsky.social can't sit this out either!
