GMB Scotland and UNISON have now confirmed bin strikes will begin in Lanarkshire later this month.
The unions formally served notice on councils across Scotland, including North and our area in South Lanarkshire, to expect eight days of industrial action by members in waste and recycling – starting on Wednesday, 14th August.
Unless a pay deal is found before that date, bins will go unemptied from the smallest villages to the biggest cities, including Glasgow and Edinburgh.
