Two trade unions in Scotland have rejected a renewed pay offer from councils that would have ended planned bin strikes across the country.
Unison has recommend to members that they reject the latest pay deal after five days of talks with Cosla, the body for Scottish local authorities. While, Unite has rejected the new offer.
Rejection of the pay offer, thought to be in the region of £1925, means that a rolling series of looming bin strikes across 20 council areas will go ahead. The first action, a 12-day rubbish collection strike in Edinburgh is due to come to an end tomorrow morning.
