Council workers could take part in strike action that would "close schools across the country and see waste piling up on the streets" without an improved pay offer, the First Minister has been warned.
Leaders of Unison, Unite and GMB unions have written to Nicola Sturgeon and Finance Secretary Kate Forbes calling for talks on local government pay to take place as a "matter of urgency".
The unions said the 2% that has been offered to council workers is "derisory".
