i love scotland, i love edinburgh. but this is really sad. we will do what we have come here for but, yeah, it's not optimal. terrible. well, they should pay the people what they're asking for. a new pay deal for refuse workers is on the table, but the strike will not be called off unless they accept it. the leader of the council is pleading with tenants, housing associations and businesses to do what they can to help. but many will be wondering how it could all have gone so wrong. james shaw, bbc news, edinburgh. the latest strikes come amid growing concerns about the cost of living and pressure on the real value of wages. let's talk to our business correspondent caroline davies. some have compared this summer to the 1970s, when we had the combination of high inflation, and industrial action. we are not at the same levels we saw of inflation at the highs of inflation in the 1970s was up in 1975 inflation was at 22.6%. we know from history that inflation erodes savings and can stop companies from growing but it can also mean people cannot buy

part of what makes edinburgh, edinburgh, is the aesthetic, is our buildings and architecture. and what ruins that is just stepping out into rubbish that is overflowing, and starting to smell, as well. and this could get even worse. the unite and gmb unions confirmed that strike action would continue, despite an improved pay offer last week of 5% from local authorities. 0ur committee met today. we need an absolute clarification as to what this 5% really means to our members. there are various ways you could cut this up and until we know, we cannot take any action. the pay increase is funded jointly by local authorities and the scottish government, which had welcomed the 5% offer. nobody wants to see strikes. we live in a really difficult financial climate with inflation affecting workers across different sectors, and that's why the scottish government is determined, as far as we can, to deliver or to help facilitate fair pay deals. when you come to edinburgh you might want to see the castle or the royal mile or greyfriars bobby, but now, there is also the stench of rotting food
