The largest union in local government says strikes are set to go ahead after they rejected a revised pay offer in talks with the employer’s organisation Cosla today (Friday).
UNISON say that in cash terms Cosla’s revised 1 year offer of 3.2% is no better than what was already on the table.
The union say that waste, recycling and street cleaners in 13 councils in Scotland have voted to strike, and they will be balloting 38,000 school, early years and family centre staff next week.
UNISON Scotland local government lead David O’Connor said: “Cosla’s revised offer puts absolutely no more money on the table. They have not moved one iota since we advised them that we are preparing for strikes. See further details on the UNISON Scotland website
