Waste workers in Midlothian are set to strike as councils across Scotland face industrial action in the coming weeks.
Midlothian Council said it has been notified by the GMB union that at least half of its members working in the local authority's waste and recycling services have voted for action.
At this stage the council is not expecting any industrial action to hit its schools or early learning centres after unions covering the workforce in those services did not report gaining enough support.
