BIN strikes have spread even further across Scotland, with workers in more council areas walking out over pay amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Coinciding with existing strike action in Edinburgh, GMB Scotland union members at 16 councils will begin four days of industrial action on Monday.

The news comes after Unite members working in waste services for 13 councils went on strike on Wednesday, joining workers in Edinburgh whose ongoing stoppage began on August 18.
