Scottish members of two trade unions have voted to reject a pay offer from councils, raising the prospect of strike action.

A ballot of GMB members returned 93% against accepting the offer put forward by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) while Unite Scotland voted 83% against, with 80% backing industrial action.
