Primary school janitors win 6% rise in pay

Glasgow primary school janitors have won a pay rise, bringing to an end a long-running dispute with the city council.

Unison said a 6 per cent pay rise had been secured for janitors working in the city’s primary, nursery and additional support for learning schools.

The union said the deal under the council’s SNP minority administration would result in pay increasing by £1,184.

Unison, which opposed plans to reorganise the service under a cluster model, said the deal would also maintain the ratio of one janitor to a school.
