Strike action suspended
West Lothian Council has welcomed the decision to postpone strike action that could have affected local services, which was due to begin on Monday 8 November.
National negotiations between the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (CoSLA) and representatives of the recognised trade unions have led to a revised pay offer.
Union members will now be balloted to decide on whether to accept the pay deal on offer.
Leader of West Lothian Council Lawrence Fitzpatrick said: "I welcome the confirmation that potential strike action has been postponed, preventing any disruption to essential services that West Lothian residents rely on us to deliver.
"Council staff have done a magnificent job of ensuring that vital services could still be delivered throughout the pandemic."
