GMB Scotland said 78% of members voted to accept the offer from Cosla, which will see a minimum increase of 3.6% for staff.
A trade union in Scotland has scrapped plans for refuse workers to strike after members accepted a new offer.
Keir Greenaway, GMB Scotland’s senior organiser for public services, was critical of the Scottish Government and local authorities. “It should not take imminent strike action to deliver a fair offer but, while it came too late, the deal was above inflation for all staff and weighted to benefit frontline workers most.The threat of strike action came at a moment of economic strife for the Scottish Government and the UK Government, with Scotland’s Finance Secretary Shona Robison putting spending controls in place.
