That the Parliament notes with alarm what it considers exorbitant pay rises received by Scottish Water executives amounting to £330,000 in 2023-24; believes that this violates Public Sector Pay Policy rules suspending executive bonuses in the interest of maximising resources available to public bodies to address fair pay issues; understands that this comes at a time when water bills are set to rise by 9.9% as a result of the increasing risk of water scarcity; further understands that these increases represent an average executive bonus increase by over a third in one year whilst staff in the same company face a basic pay offer of 3.4%; acknowledges the vote for industrial action led by members of Unison, Unite and GMB Scotland; recognises the standby ban and ban on contractual overtime to be held by union members over 7 and 17 March 2025; expresses concern at reports from unions that Scottish Water has failed to engage with unions over a proposed pay and grading structure reform, and believes that public sector bodies’ priority spending should focus on securing fair settlements for workers and the reliable and sustainable supply of water rather than providing excessive remunerations to executives.
