Glasgow union boss warns cleansing staff will strike if pay deal can't be reached

The convenor of Glasgow's GMB union has warned that cleansing workers will have no option but to go on strike nationwide if a pay settlement can’t be reached with COSLA.

At the beginning of the summer the trade union issued a ballot to workers in every Scottish local authority on potential industrial action after they turned down a 2% pay offer.

The ballot, which will run until Tuesday, July 26, will determine how workers want to proceed as GMB convenor Chris Mitchell believes that workers will be left with no choice but to go on strike if they can’t reach an agreeable pay settlement.
