Unison threatens strike action if money is not found to pay local government workers

UNISON has threatened strikes in every Scottish council if money is not found to pay local government workers.

The union’s warning came amid strikes that have closed schools in First Minister John Swinney’s constituency.

It called the fortnight of action after members working in non-teaching roles in schools rejected a pay offer from local authority body Cosla.
