Ten council areas will be affected by disruption after Unite members working in education and early years services voted for industrial action.
School and early years staff could walk out as soon as early September in a dispute over pay, a union official has said.
The union said it comes after no improved pay offer was put on the table following talks with council umbrella body Cosla. McNab said they were waiting for the Unison ballot to finish before the three unions meet to “discuss our plan of attack and our action to take industrial action”. “We’ve been quite clear for months now to Colsa that they need to make the same offer as they made last year which is £2,000 to the lowest-paid members that we’ve got. As I’ve said before, we’ve got members that are really struggling just now.”A Cosla spokesman said the “strong offer” raises the local government living wage by 99p to £11.84 per hour.
