苏格兰SPCA工作人员在3 900万英镑盈余中以通货膨胀和行政人员工资为借口,罢工以压付工资。 Scottish SPCA staff to strike over pay, citing inflation and executive pay amid £39M surplus.

近150名苏格兰SPCA工人,包括动物救援工作人员和检查员,定于11月5日因薪酬纠纷而罢工,理由是尽管慈善机构持有3 934万英镑的无限制基金,而且首席执行官收入超过10万英镑,但实际工资却被削减。 Nearly 150 Scottish SPCA workers, including animal rescue staff and inspectors, are set to strike on November 5 over pay disputes, citing a real-terms pay cut despite the charity holding £39.34 million in unrestricted funds and a chief executive earning over £100,000. 联合工会拒绝了2025年平均1.6%的发价,并提议2026年增加2%,称这不符合4.5%的通胀率。 The Unite union rejected a 2025 pay offer averaging 1.6%, with a 2% rise proposed for 2026, saying it fails to match 4.5% inflation. 这次罢工得到了14%的有偿工作人员的支持,是在慈善机构决定选择在通过之后一年退出维持生计的工资地位之后进行的。 The strike, supported by 14% of paid staff, follows the charity’s decision to opt out of living wage status just a year after adopting it. SSPCA说,在财政拮据的情况下,它的报价是公平的,维持着基本服务,其求助热线仍然开通,否认罢工会扰乱动物护理。 The SSPCA says its offer is fair under financial constraints, maintains essential services and its helpline will remain open, and denies the strike will disrupt animal care.
