Will be there be strikes on Glasgow's subway in August?
It's important to note that Unite has suspended industrial action on Glasgow's subway network has been called off.
Industrial action which was due to take place on August 6,9, 13 and 27 has been suspended after it was criticised for "cynically" timing the strikes during Rangers games.
Will there be waste strikes in other Scotland council areas?
The second wave of strikes is expected from local government workers and members of Unite and Unison which will likely affect Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow.
Unite has said the new second wave is "set to specifically impact schools across Scotland is expected to begin in early September".
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite’s members can’t tolerate derisory pay offers any longer from COSLA or the Scottish Government who ultimately control the purse strings.
"We believe the public of Edinburgh and across Scotland will support our members in taking this stand because no worker should be forced to accept a 'take it or leave it' real terms pay cut. Our members simply have no choice but to take strike action in their fight for better jobs, pay and conditions.”
