Striking workers outraged after Glasgow City Council considers hiring scab labour
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar is shown an overflowing bin by Barry McAreavey as he meets GMB cleansing workers in Glasgow to learn about their dispute with the Scottish Government ahead of Cop26
GLASGOW City Council has been accused of considering scab labour in a desperate attempt to cover striking workers during Cop26.
GMB members taking industrial action in Glasgow throughout Cop26 expressed outrage as it emerged that the city council was discussing strike-breaking tactics against cleansing workers who walked out earlier this week.
Council workforce convener Allan Casey said that the council “supports entirely the right to engage in strike activity,” but confirmed that scab labour was being considered to ensure public safety on Bonfire night.
