One-day strike action is also set to take place in South Lanarkshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Edinburgh and Fife next Wednesday, November 8.Unison Scotland’s head of local government Johanna Baxter said: “The strength of feeling among Unison’s 91,000 local government members, who voted overwhelmingly to reject Cosla’s latest pay offer, is clear.“They are determined to continue to fight to get an improved pay offer.
“While no deal has yet been reached, we continue to have constructive dialogue with Cosla and we remain committed to resolving this dispute as soon as possible. “Cosla and the Scottish government need to give local government workers a decent wage rise, fund any increase properly and commit to implementing a minimum underpinning rate of pay of £15 per hour for all local government workers.”
More than 21,000 workers represented by the union took three days of strike action in September, resulting in the closure of 75 per cent of Scotland’s schools.
