Scottish council workers to be balloted for strike action over escalating pay dispute
Unison claimed a revised offer will only give low paid staff an extra 97p a week. The initial offer in March included a flat rate payment of £800 for staff earning up to £25,000, a 2% rise for staff on between £25,000 and £40,000, and 1% for higher earners.The union’s members voted by 88% to reject the offer and talks have taken place with council bosses about an improved settlement.
