"The COSLA amendment said the group would “agree with the trade unions to request a joint meeting with Scottish Government to seek additional funding for pay, concluding discussion on the possibility of a multi-year deal, and request on this basis, that the trade unions suspend any industrial action pending discussions with the Scottish Government”.

Cllr Cammy Day, Leader of The City of Edinburgh Council said he is pleased at the outcome from today’s meeting. He said: “I was pleased the Labour amendment was agreed, and not that from the SNP which was trying to pass the responsibility to the UK Government. We’ve been quite clear all along that The Scottish Government are responsible for funding local government.”
Can’t they just raise council tax? Why should the Scottish taxpayer give handout money to badly run Labour and Tory councils?
Yousaf was such a good idea
