North Ayrshire UNISON

Your representation within the workplace. Essential cover if you work within public services. 1.4 Million Members. To join

[North Ayrshire Council @North_Ayrshire]

A special meeting of North Ayrshire Council will take place next week where Councillors will learn of the significant financial challenges facing the council over the coming years.

A Budget gap of £16 million is expected which will require us to deliver significant savings for 2025/26.

Having already cut £84 million from our budget over the previous eight years, frontline services will almost certainly be affected. That means the views of our communities will be essential in helping to shape the future provision of Council services.

Next week, we will begin engagement with communities across North Ayrshire - please keep an eye on our social media channels for how you can take part and share your views.

Local government workers aren't second class, so why would a social worker in local government be offered a pay rise almost 2% less that a colleague in the NHS.

Vote YES for Strike action, Vote Reject on the offer

Not second class, we deserve better

[Unison Glasgow City @unison_glasgow]

Local Government workers are worth more! NHS workers have been offered a fully deserved pay deal of more than 1.25% on average than council employees. We are not second class - RETURN YOUR BALLOT PAPER ASAP TO VOTE FOR STRIKE ACTION. Let COSLA know we won't be undervalued!

What does a health and safety rep do?

Crisis in work life balance could be eased if local authority and private sectors introduced a flexible 4 day week as the norm. #undc24

[North Ayrshire UNISON @UNISONNA1]

Moved to tears hearing the story of the death of a 7 year old boy caused by hydrogen cyanide poisoning released during a flood, a flood which the then UKPM confirmed as being caused by climate change. Delighted that this motion was unanimously passed. Let us not forget.

Buchanan Street right now! @CollegesScot @scotgov @ScotGovFM @GraemeDeyMSP FE is on disarray. This dispute must end, and FE must be properly resourced if the war on poverty is to be won ✊️ #FairPayNow #FightingForFE

[Katy Clark MSP @KatySClark]

Solidarity with all lecturers out on strike again today.

They've been let down by college management and the Scottish Government.

The Minister needs to get college bosses around the table, demand they withdraw all threats, and fight to resolve the dispute. #FightingforFE
