Bin collections in East and South Ayrshire will be hit in a fortnight’s time after unions formally set dates for strike action..
Unite union waste services members will begin striking on Wednesday, August 24 for a week after claiming the authorities had failed to improve on a ‘pitiful’ two per cent pay increase for council staff.
The GMB has also indicated two shorter strikes, from Friday, August 26 to Monday, August 29 and again from Wednesday, September 7 to Saturday, September 10.
