Fife Council
Around 283 plumbers, electricians, joiners and maintenance workers are being balloted on possible stoppages.
Their union claims they are being forced to work longer hours for less pay than other local authority workers.
Spokesman John Allot said: "This is totally unacceptable and the union has no choice but to ballot its members."
Unite is also asking members in three other council areas to give it a mandate for action.
Council personnel chief, Sandy Gallanders, said he was hopeful the dispute could be resolved nationally without any industrial action and that a sensible and realistic outcome could still be achieved.
