Unison, representing about 40,000 NHS workers in Scotland, has approved a 5.5% pay increase from the Scottish Government, retroactive to April. This deal, echoing an offer for English staff, is viewed as the "best deal currently possible" amid financial pressures. Unison follows Unite in acceptance, with both unions supporting a £448 million package benefiting around 170,000 NHS employees. Unison cautions the government to improve future pay negotiations.
