Union members in nine Scottish council areas will hold strikes on 6, 7 and 8 September.
School and nursery staff in nine Scottish council areas are to go on strike for three days next month in a row over pay, it has been confirmed.
The unions represent workers including school catering staff, cleaners, caretakers, teaching assistants and early years practitioners.Unions have been seeking more details about a 5% pay offer from councils, with the row seeing bin workers in Edinburgh start a two-week strike last week, with refuse staff in about half of Scotland's other councils due to join them from tomorrow.
She said many members were struggling with fuel, food and household bills, and accused both Cosla and the Scottish government of "dragging their heels" over a pay offer."Until we can explain to Unison members how a pay offer might impact on them, council workers have been left with no choice but to strike."
"They deserved to be valued so much better, and they need to be too if they are able to survive the scourge of soaring inflation and energy bills in the weeks and months to come."
