Council leaders across Scotland are to meet within the next week to discus a possible pay deal that could prevent strike action.
Local authorities have been been asking the UK and Scottish Governments if any additional funding can be provided to reach a pay deal, and the Scottish Government has confirmed is to give a further £140 million of funding to COSLA to help make a revised pay offer.
COSLA confirmed it would reconvene within seven days after it failed to reach a new pay settlement for council workers who rejected the two per cent pay offer and voted to take industrial action in the cleansing, catering, janitorial and support staff departments.
