Schools across 10 council areas are set to be closed on September 13 and 14 after staff voted in favour of strike action.A third of council areas will be impacted – with 10 local authorities being warned of industrial action from catering staff, janitors, cleaners and support workers.The union, which represents more than 21,000 workers across 32 councils, claimed Cosla refused to revise the offer or ask the Scottish Government for support.
More strikes could occur across schools and early years in September with the members of another union already voting for industrial action while another is currently balloting members. Keir Greenaway, GMB Scotland senior organiser for public services, said a meeting on August 25 would be the final opportunity for Cosla to avert disruptive strikes.
"The pay offer to council workers does not come close to matching the surging cost of living and one that is worth less with every month that passes.
