Council chiefs have made a revised pay offer to staff in a bid to avert strikes that are set to close schools
Umbrella group COSLA backed a plan by 24 votes to 8 which would give £2000 to the low paid and cap the cash given to more affluent staff.
The offer, which will now be considered by the trade unions, comes after a prolonged dispute with COSLA over pay during the cost of living crisis. Failure to agree a deal resulted in First Minister Nicola Sturgeon chairing a summit yesterday in an attempt to hammer out a compromise. The meeting lasted until ten minutes to midnight.
