AHEAD of a crucial by-election this week in the run-up to an approaching General Election, competition between Labour and the SNP is hotting up on…
The issue is agreements on fair pay. Labour call them “Fair Pay Agreements” while the SNP call them “Fair Work Agreements”.
More than a century ago, in what were known as the “sweated trades”, because of the long working hours, poor conditions and low pay, statutory wage levels and conditions were established. This was in recognition also of a situation in which a higher supply than demand for such workers existed, meaning unions were not in much of a position to help.
This is because the text of this document promises to “publish a full and transparent review of the [adult social care sector] agreement [after which] we will also assess how and to what extent FPAs could benefit other sector”.It’s not hard to imagine any other Fair Pay Agreements will take many years to come into existence – or they may not happen at all.
The only Fair Work Agreement which exists is in the Scottish civil service where the Scottish Government is the employer. This was created in 2018 covering four already recognised unions. We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
