The unions have taken different positions, with Unison members set to strike next week
But a strike looks likely to go ahead after a third union refused the latest offer.
COSLA said the “significantly improved in-year offer” would mean workers on the local government living wage see an in-year uplift of about £2,000, or almost 10 per cent. “GMB is a trade union led by its members and it is absolutely right they are asked to decide on what is a significantly better offer.
“Whatever our members decide, lessons should be learned from these needlessly protracted negotiations to ensure workers, parents and pupils do not endure similar uncertainty in future.”
