Emirates Arena staff strike against ‘intransigent’ firm

WORKERS at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena accused bosses of “total intransigence” yesterday, as they resumed strike action.

Staff have been in dispute with Glasgow Life management since November over their demand for extra payments for heavy lifting duties.

The Unite union, which represents the workers, says bosses could settle the dispute at a cost of £520 a year per worker — a total annual bill of £15,000.
