A new offer has been made to the bin workers of Edinburgh in a bid to halt recent walkouts.
Locals have seen rubbish pileup on the streets during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with the strike due to end on Wednesday. Staff in local authorities across Scotland took action over the weekend with a further stretch planned for next week.
The GMB, Unison and Unite unions were in talks with local authority body Cosla on Sunday and it is understood an offer has now been made to halt the actions. The details of the offer have not yet been made public, with union leaders expected to go discuss the offer before putting it to members for approval.
