Glasgow councillors have condemned the UK Government’s proposal to introduce new legislation which would ensure “basic function” during industrial action.
The proposed bill would allow the UK government to decide statutory minimum service levels for a string of public services during strike action.
Glasgow GMB cleansing convenor Chris Mitchell urged all trade unions to join forces to oppose the bill, warning it would see Britain “plummeting into the dark ages” - and warned that attempts to push the changes through could lead to a nationwide general strike.
