Following Cosla's failure to table an improved pay offer for our local government workers, GMB has served Glasgow City Council with statutory notice for industrial action in the cleansing service. 7 days of strike action will begin on November 1st. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-58961077

Sending solidarity from GMB Scotland to @gmbs85 members taking strike action against Serco today over bullying, health and safety breaches and pay disparity. ✊ #SercoSandwellStrike @GMBWestMidlands

Great work from all of our @GMBGlasgowCC reps to get the ballot over the line in Glasgow. They should never have had to fight this hard to get the recognition and reward they have earned working through the pandemic. Time for @COSLA to pay up, or face a #COP26 bin strike.

"We think it was an insult and a kick in the teeth that they can't offer us a fair pay rise.” GMB Scotland’s Chris Mitchell speaks out about ⁦@COSLA⁩’s failure to properly reward those we all applauded as “Covid heroes” last year. https://planetradio.co.uk/clyde/local/news/glasgow-filthy-untidy-cop26/

Holes in the roof. 🕳 Water pouring into the canteen. ☔️ Toilets unfit for purpose. 🚫 Is this how much Glasgow City Council values its key workers? https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-waste-depots-unfit-purpose-21783818

A £10.02 wage won't tackle the understaffing crisis in Scotland's social care sector. To transform social care for the people who need it and the people who deliver it, then we must go further. That's why GMB is fighting for £15. Our response: https://gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-scotland-response-%C2%A310-social-care-pay-uplift

Thanks to Rab McKenna, a @GMBSouthern shop steward in Brighton, for his solidarity message to @GMBGlasgowCC cleansing workers. The industrial action ballot over COSLA pay closes Thursday, so if you've not returned your ballot vote YES YES today and tell @COSLA you're worth more!
