@twatteratti7 @ScotsPolFed How many of the protests did you go to?

JCC Circular 2 of 2025 – Police Pay 2024/25 – Arbitration Decision. Backdated pay will be in officers’ March pay spf.org.uk/jcc-circular-2…
English

@jambotree @ScotsPolFed They are pointless. Shows the power they have, Fought the wrong fight. Pensions should have been fought but they left that to a 3rd party then refused to pay legal fees. This fight was all about a very small % yet they still lost. Inflations back at 3%
English

@ScotsPolFed I’m actually at the point where if it wasn’t for the insurance I’d have no idea what the point of the fed is. Officers have lost so much over the years and got no where near as much in return.
English

David Kennedy General Secretary of the SPF, said: “It’s no surprise that given the value of police pay has decreased so much over the years that officers, when they can, will turn to a business interest to cushion that financial loss.” thescottishsun.co.uk/news/13724446/…
English

@ScotsPolFed So I'm assuming you are happy to keep officers in the dark about pay discussions. Will the SPF ever learn.

@jimbojingles @ScotsPolFed What do you think, talks finished on Friday and still we are kept in the dark. Even if nothings agreed they should just tell us.

Mandated overtime is adding to officer stress and burn out committee told

@wwwrubbernecker @ScotsPolFed @scotgov They said last year that the pay claim had already started yet this year's isn't submitted until May and here we are in radio silence. We will no doubt get far less than the 5.7% they wouldn't budge on.
English

@ScotsPolFed Just seen that Junior Doctors got their 22% pay increase (Yes, TWENTY-TWO).
How are we getting on with our pay claim? Almost six months overdue. Please can we also already start 2025/26 claim now so we’ve got a remote chance of receiving it on 01.04.2025. #NotValued @scotgov

Chair David Threadgold said that the force needed to put more preventative measures in place so colleagues were not burning out and suffering from poor mental health, adding that it was “an issue that challenges us every day in the work that we do”. spf.org.uk/mental-health-…

@Stephen94531325 @RaithRovers Continuing to build with a small injury ravaged team. Surely before Saturday we'll see a couple come in.
English


@ScotsPolFed Maybe more would stay if you didn't help screw pensions and yet again no payrise on time infact we are closing in on 6 months overdue, again!!!.
English

“Efforts to bring Police Scotland back up to 16,600 officers are being hampered because the service simply cannot recruit the numbers it needs to replace those who are leaving. This will be exacerbated if the number of officers who can retire actually do." dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

English

@ScotsPolFed I can't wait to see what you agree, do we really have to wait until October to see it. Can't remember the last time we got a pay rise on time.
English

Pay negotiations for 2024/25 will be informed by four main factors;
• The inability of police officers to take any form of industrial action.
• Restrictions on private lives.
• Deals elsewhere in the public sector.
• Economic conditions

@HomersaysDoh_ @muz2391 @GdivReps Have you forgotten about the pension debacle when they sided with the government and not the officers they represented. Told untruths and actively discouraged officers to sign up to the Leigh Day challenge whilst doing nothing themselves
English

@muz2391 @GdivReps What coverage is reducing? I’m only aware of the added mobile phone insurance on top of what we get which I’ve tried to match elsewhere and it’s impossible. ‘Faceless’ is an embarrassing comment, you’ve clearly had a decision not go your way..my experiences are very different.

@dowie_rhys @TwentySeven11 @Martin_Glass96 @RaithRovers It looks like you have no idea what promotion is as your team are more likely to be relegated before a promotion.
English

@TwentySeven11 @Martin_Glass96 @RaithRovers No you haven't, 136 videos about a result. Wee team mentality. The comical thing is, pars don't actually hate the rovers, they're cute. Have your day, deep down you know it's only a matter of time until we're promoted before the wee team. 😘😘😘
