It hasn't been and inflation is still really high and workers need a decent pay offer."The action affects school catering, cleaning, janitorial, admin and classroom assistance staff First Minister Humza Yousaf previously said he had already provided Cosla with additional funding to help negotiations in the pay offer.Three unions are involved in the dispute: Unison, the GMB and Unite.
