Abstract
School catering staff across nine Scottish Council areas will go on strike for three days next month in a row over pay, it was reported by BBC News.

The strike will take place from 6-8 September and it is believed that as many as 13,000 staff members will be taking part including cleaners, teaching assistants and caretakers as well as school caterers.

Schools in Aberdeenshire, Glasgow City, Orkney, Stirling and East Renfrewshire are due to be impacted.

Johanna Baxter, Unison Scotland's head of local government, said unions were still trying to find a solution. She told the BBC: "So far we have only had an offer of talks - we have not had a pay offer. Until we can explain to Unison members how a pay offer might impact on them, council workers have been left with no choice but to strike."
