School and early years staff who are members of UNISON and the GMB will strike on 6, 7 and 8 September, the trade unions announced, after talks with council body COSLA failed to reach an agreement.
The councils notified for schools and early years strike action are Aberdeenshire, Clackmannanshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow City, Inverclyde, Orkney, North Lanarkshire, Stirling and South Lanarkshire.
School and early years staff will join waste and recycling staff who have already started strike action.
UNISON said 13,000 of its members will strike across Scotland, of whom around 12,000 will be school and early years workers. The union said this would represent the largest strike among council workers since the Trade Union Act was introduced in 2016.
