Glasgow’s cleansing workers are set to stage more protests on Friday afternoon as part of their campaign for a bigger pay increase.
Members of the GMB trade union say they will not be put in the middle of a “political football field” by the Scottish and UK Governments as they stand in solidarity with cleansing staff across Scotland as well as other sectors threatening strike action in the wake of the cost of living crisis.
Last week the results of a ballot confirmed that Glasgow is set to be hit by strike action which could impact cleansing, catering, janitorial, support staff and cleaners after workers rejected a 2 percent pay increase by COSLA.
