Council workers threatening industrial action have been offered a pay rise to £10.50 an hour by COSLA in line with the living wage criteria.
GMB Scotland, which confirmed earlier today that cleansing workers in 16 local authorities would take industrial action this month and next, has called the latest offer a "dire response".GMB Scotland, Senior Organiser for public services Keir Greenaway, said: “This is a dire response to the cost-of-living crisis facing our members.
