Glasgow is set to be hit by strike action which could impact cleansing, catering, janitorial, support staff and cleaners, after workers rejected a 2 per cent pay increase offered by COSLA and said it was “insulting” in the face of a cost of living and energy crisis
Cleansing staff from the GMB union are set to take part in strike action later this year, as members said they will not be forced into “workplace poverty”. Glasgow was also one of nine local authorities across Scotland where Unison members voted to take strike action.
This means industrial action in the city is also likely to impact schools, early years centres, nurseries and waste and recycling centres.
