Dumfries and Galloway is set to be hit by bin collectors strikes after unions rejected a new pay offer.
Unite and GMB Scotland have turned down the latest deal from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA), with Unison also recommending members refuse the offer.
As a result, the region’s waste collection workers will begin an eight-day walkout on September 6 – despite warnings the latest offer is “as good as it gets” and all options have been “exhausted”.
