Care workers employed by Enable Scotland will begin a five-day strike tomorrow over pay.
The walkout, announced by Unison, will be the first national care strike in Scotland in more than a decade.
It will start in East Renfrewshire and continue in Aberdeenshire, Moray, Ayrshire, Edinburgh, and Glasgow over the following days.

The strike will end with a march and rally at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on June 12.
Unison said the strike is a result of "years of broken promises and delays by the Scottish government to reform and fund social care properly."
They claim care staff have been left with no option after being consistently let down by ministers.

Jennifer McCarey, Unison Scotland regional organiser, said: "The last thing care workers want to do is strike.
"It's been a very difficult decision for them.
"But promises of pay increases made by government ministers have been broken and Enable workers' pay has worsened.
"The care sector is in crisis and the responsibility for that lies squarely with the Scottish government.
"Until care staff are valued properly and paid fairly, the sector will never have the workforce it needs."
Anna Baird, a Unison member and personal assistant with Enable Scotland for eight years, said: "I love my job and the people I support, that’s why this decision was so hard.
"But we’re at breaking point.
"Our pay doesn’t reflect the responsibility we carry and many of us are struggling to make ends meet.
"We’re just asking to be valued for the vital work we do.”
