The GMB union is taking the action amid claims local authority chiefs are delaying a pay offer.
Industrial action is now a step closer over union fears staff will only be offered a rise of around two per cent.Keir Greenaway, GMB Scotland senior organiser in public services, said: “This offer is already far too late and, from what we have heard, is almost certain to be far too low.“Council leaders must already suspect their offer will not be accepted but continue to waste time and inflict uncertainty.
