Protesters have gathered in George Square to voice their opposition at the cost of living in Scotland.
A number of trade unions issued a call to the public to join them at the rally on Saturday afternoon.
The STUC posted on Facebook to say the event would also raise awareness of the P&O workers sacking scandal that saw nearly 800 staff let go last month.
Around 100 people gathered in the city centre square, with many holding banners and flags.
One person held a sign up which read: "Freeze prices, not the poor".
A number of speakers addressed the crowd from a platform about the cost of living crisis.

Speaking to the Daily Record from the scene, Jane and Geffrey Greenwod, from Dumfries and Galloway, hit out at the "appalling" situation.
They said: "The situation is absolutely appalling and disgusting. My mum is 96, she’s a single pensioner and her gas and electricity bill has doubled.
"She’s so disappointed and upset at the whole situation.
"And all the government can offer is a £200 loan. When do they suggest people pay that back? When will they be able to afford it?
"The amount of money the government wasted on covid is ridiculous. They should be ashamed of themselves.
"There is no forward planning. Nobody knows what to expect. It’s worrying."
The demonstration comes as energy bills are set to skyrocket with the price cap increased by £693 to £1791 after Ofgem hiked it up from April 1.
The People’s Assembly have also urged the public to “get out onto the streets to send a clear message to the government that we refuse to pay for their crisis.”
Similar protests are being held at various locations across the UK as part of the day of action.
