Strike action could be "inevitable" for tens of thousands of council workers in Scotland this summer, as union bosses hit out at the offer of a "paltry" pay increase.
GMB Scotland will alert the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) on Monday of its intention to ballot all school, early years and waste and cleansing service members between June 6 and July 26.
The ballot of nearly 10,000 workers is in response to the local authority body's 2% pay offer against all council pay grades for 2022/23.
