The offer, described by Cosla as “fair and meaningful”, includes an hourly uplift of £0.67 or a 3.6% increase, whichever is higher. Council areas which could be subject to strike action from refuse workers include Glasgow, Inverclyde, South Lanarkshire and North Lanarkshire, as well as Fife, Midlothian, Stirling, and East Lothian.Industrial action on both refuse and education could occur at Perth and Kinross Council.
“They want a fair increase to stop their pay consistently falling behind, and for their wage increase to be in line with other areas of the economy. The last thing anyone wants to do is go on strike, but local government workers deserve better. “That puts workers and the services they provide under intolerable pressure. It’s unsustainable it can’t go on.”
“We are aware that communities will be concerned about the potential impact of industrial action on the most vulnerable. We would urge Unison to reconsider our strong offer which has an overall value of 4.27%.”
