Council workers have overwhelmingly rejected a new pay deal.
Members of the GMB union, including bin collectors, school cleaners and home carers, have knocked back a deal from local authority body Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA).
The union claims the deal represented a 5.5 per cent pay increase with COSLA describing it as a rise of up to 9.1 per cent for the lowest earners, with people earning more than £38,585 in line to receive more than six per cent.
