14 Scottish council areas face potential strike action by waste, recycling, and street cleaning workers due to pay disputes.
14 council areas in Scotland, including Glasgow City Council and East Renfrewshire Council, may face potential strike action by waste, recycling, and street cleaning workers due to pay disputes. Unison Scotland, which represents council workers, called on Cosla, the local government body, to return to the negotiation table, stating that staff feel undervalued and are seeking a pay deal addressing below-inflation pay settlements. If the strike goes ahead, residents may experience delays and disruptions to refuse collection services, resulting in accumulated rubbish in their neighborhoods.
