Single Status - the background
In 1999 members voted in a ballot for a new deal with
councils across Scotland called 'Single Status'.
Every job in local government was to be evaluated through
a recommended national job evaluation scheme.
The scheme would assess jobs equally and fairly on
agreed and transparent criteria. You know why your grade
is what it is.
An essential part of that agreement was that anyone
who might be worse off would have three years' protection.
After years of delay, talks eventually started in Edinburgh
after UNISON members voted in a ballot to negotiate
on a scheme.
UNISON can only agree a scheme that is transparently
fair and passes an equality impact assessment. Any new
pay and grading structure MUST deliver on equality.
