Landmark Deal with Scottish Public Sector's First £15 per Hour Minimum Wage

Lodged by Mercedes Villalba Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news from the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union that its members have secured a pay deal that will deliver what it considers a landmark minimum wage of £15 per hour for the lowest paid workers employed by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body; understands that this pay deal is the first of its kind across public bodies in Scotland; further understands that the deal, secured by PCS, Prospect and the FDA, could be worth over £6,000 to employees on the lowest pay; believes that this result reaffirms the positive role that trade unions play in the workplace; celebrates what it sees as this progressive move, and calls on employers everywhere to follow suit and pay a wage that provides what it considers to be a decent standard of living.
