ALL schools and nurseries in East Dunbartonshire will be shut for four days due to industrial action.
Members of the Unison, Unite and GMB unions voted to strike in a row over proposed changes to employment terms and conditions.
A total of 63 schools and nurseries will now close between Thursday and Tuesday June 26.
Bin collections, libraries, museums and cemeteries are among other council services to be affected.
No teachers chose to go on strike; however, a lack of other staff has raised fears for pupil safety.
The local authority was informed of the decision to take action on Tuesday June 12.
Trade unions are said to have rejected an opportunity on Wednesday to hold further talks with the local authority.
Unite industrial officer Kenny Jordan previously said: "Unite members at East Dunbartonshire Council have shown their resolution by strongly voting for industrial action.
"The savage cuts being proposed to terms and conditions, and making our members work harder and longer for less will not go unopposed.
"If there are efficiencies to be made, then they should be sought elsewhere and not from the hardest-working and lowest-paid workers who are already stretched to the brink while trying to do their very best for the people of East Dunbartonshire."
Proposed changes include the reduction of annual leave by three days, removing "enhanced overtime" pay as well as less money for working "unsocial hours".
Ann Davie, the council's depute chief executive for education, people and business, said: "The industrial action is being held in response to changes in employee terms and conditions which have been proposed in order to save jobs."
She said the trades unions lodged their notifications of strike action pending ongoing negotiations which concluded at midday on Wednesday.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, she said: "A further offer made this morning to avert strike action was regrettably not accepted and at lunchtime the strike action was confirmed.
"There are significant disruptions to council services which are detailed on the council website and have been communicated through social media.
"The council made every effort to avert this strike action and we are deeply disappointed that it is proceeding."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
