Animal welfare remains our number one priority
We can confirm that following a formal ballot by Unite the Union, 62 out of 139 members have voted in favour of strike action. That equates to 14% of our paid workforce. The total number of helping hands, including volunteers, is 1,342, so 19 out of 20 did not choose strike action.
We have engaged openly and constructively throughout the consultation process and put forward a pay offer we believe is fair, responsible and reflective of the financial pressures the Scottish SPCA is currently managing.
Animal welfare remains our number one priority, our helpline remains open and we will continue to care for animals across Scotland with plans in place to ensure we still deliver our essential services during this period. We are deeply grateful for the continued support in our vision to make Scotland the best place in the world for an animal to call home.
