UK Nations Benchmark Judicial Working Conditions
What happened
The GMB Scottish Judiciary Branch, which represents judicial office holders in Scotland’s courts and tribunals, is working to secure fair and equivalent terms and conditions. The branch is inviting judges to join and is advocating for improvements in pay, working time, pension, and judicial security. This effort builds on the Judges’ Branch in England and Wales.
