Edinburgh Festival bin strike warning over pay row

The union said the current pay offer from Cosla to local government workers fell significantly short of what they deserved.

And they said it was “well below” the pay claim that unions submitted earlier this year.

David Harrold, Unison Edinburgh branch secretary, said: “If workers vote to strike, rubbish will pile up on the streets again at the Edinburgh Festival – one of Scotland’s truly global events.

“The last thing anyone wants to do is take strike action, but local government workers deserve a fair increase to stop their pay lagging behind inflation and other sectors in the economy.

“This is about more than just waste workers, we are standing together for fair pay for every council worker in the country.”
