This strike by the members of GMB and Unite will continue till 30 August. Miles Briggs, the Scottish Conservative local government spokesman today demanded strike-busting action. The strike-busting action should include working with private companies to clear up the streets. He asked the SNP government to now look into the matter.

The rubbish which has been piling up in the streets is risking damage to the city’s reputation. Nicola Sturgeon the first minister told that she said an improvement related to the pay deal will be implemented. The governing body of Cosla will be doing this. The implements would increase the wages by 5 percent which would work in resolving the dispute. She said no one would address the way of disruption and impact of the strikes. The people of Edinburgh are facing this issue right now.

The reason behind this is enforcing the Scottish government which is determined to give as much related to the fair pay of deals.
