Trade unions have warned "waste could pile high" in local authorities across Scotland after two unions confirmed their members will walk out over a "shameful" pay offer.
Council workers in the GMB and Unison at 13 local authorities across Scotland will walk out over a two per cent pay increase offered to them by Cosla - the body representing local authorities. Schools, early years workers and cleansing departments will put down tools with dates yet to be confirmed.
Members in all councils across Scotland voted to reject the pay offer of two per cent and secured turnouts surpassing the statutory 50% threshold for public sector ballots.
