UNISON is tomorrow (Wednesday) taking a dispute over pay cuts of up to 6% at the Citizens Advice telephone service to ACAS.
The Scottish telephone and web based advice service Citizens
Advice Direct (CAD) wants to withdraw its current contribution based pay scheme
under which staff who achieve targets can earn a pay rise of up to 6% annually.
In a consultative ballot, 100% of UNISON members rejected
the latest changes to staff terms and conditions. They are angry that eligible
staff would lose out significantly this year and in the future.
Deborah Dyer, Regional Organiser, said in advance of tomorrow’s
talks at ACAS in Glasgow: “Our members have worked very hard but are being told
they won’t be paid the rise they are due, which would be added to their salary
for future years too.
