Glasgow trade unions to stage anti-cuts protest ahead of budget meeting
British one pound coins, January 26, 2018

GLASGOW trade unionists will stage a lunchtime protest outside the city chambers this week against the latest proposed cuts to council jobs and services.

Unison, GMB, Unite and EIS members will call on the city’s politicians on Wednesday, ahead of a council budget meeting, to refuse to make any further cuts.

They are calling on the council to set a one-year no-cuts budget and lead a mass campaign to demand more funding from the Scottish and Westminster governments.
