CCTV staff demand equality with other civic workers’ teams
GLASGOW city CCTV workers rallied outside their employer’s headquarters yesterday as they prepared for a fourth strike this weekend to win equal pay for shift work.
The Unison members work 12-hour shifts, day and night, covering seven days a week every week of the year, but receive nothing on top of a basic wage of £8.25 an hour.
Employees of Glasgow City Council (GCC) and other workers employed by Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length charity run by GCC and the Scottish Police Authority, receive an extra £7,500 for shift work.
