STRIKES are looming in Scotland after council workers voted to reject the latest pay offer from their employers yesterday. 

Thousands of employees, represented by Unison Scotland – including bin workers and nursery workers – voted by 86 per cent to reject the pay offer, which the union said “falls short of expectations.” 

The offer includes an hourly uplift of 67p or a 3.6 per cent increase, whichever is higher.
