Union leaders have been urged to “stand down” strike action which has closed schools in Scotland, as council bosses said more money has been found for workers’ pay.
In a statement, the organisation which represents all of Scotland’s 32 councils, said: “This is the final £17.2 million to get a package worth more than half a billion over the line, which will increase the wages of our lowest paid employees by £2,000 a year, for the second year in succession, in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis.”
The local government body stated: “In doing so, we would very much hope that they stand down all strike action to ensure our children and young people experience no further disruption.”
