Trade union chiefs challenged councillors to walk out of the chamber and refuse to set a balanced budget in protest against the savage cuts faced by West Dunbartonshire Council.
Members arriving at Church Street were greeted by a well-attended and vocal protest organised by the local Joint Trade Unions, with attendees pleading for cuts to be avoided.
Only the Community Party’s Jim Bollan joined protesters prior to last Wednesday’s meeting, during which all three local trade union leaders urged members to walk out of council chambers and refuse to set a balanced budget.
