Glasgow’s cleansing workers are facing a “nightmare before Christmas” after union leaders said staff had missed out on 'hundreds of pounds' of agreed back-dated wages and warned that COSLA was threatening to u-turn on its pay settlement.
Following strike action in various council sectors, a package was agreed that meant carers would no longer have to pay their own SSSC (Scottish Social Services Council) registration fees and that both carers and cleansing workers would benefit from an extra day’s holiday.
Cleansing departments up and down the country accepted a flat rate increase in pay of more than £1900 for all staff earning less than £39,000 a year.
