The SNP has moved to bring an end to the dispute over temporary cleansing jobs in Glasgow.
In the council budget it was announced the contracts would be extended as the unions asked.
Union leaders had threatened strike action over the workers whose contracts were due to run out at the end of March.
City Treasurer, Allan Gow, however said not only would the environmental street team they are employed continue after the March expiry date but the temporary posts would be replaced by 150 permanent jobs.
The issue has been subject of a pre-budget campaign by GMB union who protested outside the City Chambers.
Mr Gow said the union campaign was based on a "fictional" suggestion of cuts and said it was "unhelpful".
However, he added: "I will agree to the union request to extend the temporary street team."
He said the council would invest £3.6m in 150 new permanent jobs.
The SNP said it was working to resolve long standing workplace issues at the council.
Council leader Susan Aitken said there are too many temporary contracts in the council and the SNP was starting to deal with it.
She said: “By creating 150 new permanent front line jobs in Land and Environmental services we are adding capacity to our core services and investing in cleaner vibrant neighbourhoods”
Union members protested outside the city chambers ahead of the meeting calling for the jobs to be saved.
Labour’s proposals suggested maintaining the street team for another year costed at £4.8m.
Feargal Dalton, City Workplace convenor, said: We asked LES how many permanent staff was needed and they said 150.  We in the SNP see your 120 and raise it to 150. And not temporary but permanent jobs.”
Labour Councillor Paul Carey said the SNP had “backflipped” under pressure from the union.
Rhea Wolfson, GMB Regional Organiser said: “We will await the detail on the timescales and delivery for the appointment process of the 150 permanent posts but the most important thing today is our members may have a future and the most important thing for Glasgow is it the service has not been cut. 
We will push to ensure these permanent posts are offered in the first instance to temporary workers.”
