ACTION involving more than 100 Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) workers will bring the Glasgow subway to a stop tomorrow after an interim offer was overwhelmingly rejected.
Strikes will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Action had been suspended to allow a ballot to be held on the interim offer on pay, terms and conditions.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite’s Glasgow subway members are fed up with SPT’s half-measures and failure to deliver decent working conditions.
“It has had every opportunity to sort out understaffing, shift pay and working hours. The workers have rightly said enough is enough because the subway is running on empty.
“SPT know what it needs to do to resolve the dispute but has entirely failed to act.”
Unite industrial officer Andrew Brown said: “The offer tabled by SPT was overwhelmingly rejected by our members.
“SPT has only itself to blame for failing to come up with any workable solution to this dispute, which stretches back to last year.”
SPT has urged customers to make alternative travel arrangements on strike days and apologised for any inconvenience.
