Thousands of council workers across Scotland have voted to take industrial action which will disrupt schools, early years centres, nurseries and waste and recycling centres across the country.
UNISON, in announcing the results, said it is the largest strike ballot by local government workers in over a decade and the first-time workers across Scotland have voted to take strike action in such numbers.
UNISON members in all councils across Scotland overwhelmingly voted to reject the COSLA final pay offer of two per cent with nine local authority branches exceeding the required 50 per cent turnout threshold required by the Trade Union Act.
