Unison has announced it may broaden its strike ballot to more than 90,000 council staff.
Scotland’s largest local government union is considering widening a strike ballot to more than 90,000 council staff in a long-running dispute over pay.
The ballot was for waste, recycling and street cleaning staff, as well as those working in schools and the early years sector. The current pay offer from Cosla is an hourly increase of either 67p or a 3.6 per cent per cent wage rise, depending on what is higher. “They are demanding a fair increase to prevent their pay from consistently lagging behind and to ensure their wage rise aligns with other sectors of the economy.
