View submission: MSP Payrise Protests?
Im not going to protest a councillor going from 25k to 35k nor am i going to protest 32k to 50.
25k -32 was shockingly low. The median salary is 38k in Scotland 2024. Im actually surprised to learn some councils were as low as 25

Means that we are better represented as well since less of them need second jobs.

In fact, the current basic pay of a backbench councillor is 21k. The increase takes it up to 26k.
