South Ayrshire recycling collections will be put on hold during this week’s strike action, but household waste will be picked up.
Trades unions Unite, Unison and GMB are currently considering a five per cent offer from Cosla, but say the strikes are still set to go ahead from Wednesday.
Alison Maclean, Unite industrial officer, said: “It has taken COSLA over five months to make an offer which we can take to our members for consideration.While the five per cent offer is an improvement it is important to emphasise that it comes at a time when broader inflation has now hit a 40-year high at 12.3 per cent.
