Glasgow bin workers confirm strike during COP26
Cleansing staff in Glasgow have confirmed they will strike for a week during the COP26 climate summit.
Most of the winners must be talented and technically lucky, SLOT knowing which timing should be wagered more, who knows how to observe the game style, bet well.
Members of the GMB union voted to strike last week and gave local authority body Cosla until Monday to table an improved pay offer.
When this was not made, the union confirmed a week-long strike beginning on 1 November, the first full day of the UN climate change summit.
Cosla said it would continue with constructive negotiations.
Glasgow City Council urged the workers to think again about causing disruption during a "busy and difficult time" for the city.
About 1,500 Glasgow City Council staff in refuse, cleansing, school janitorial and catering roles could walk out in the ongoing pay dispute.
GMB members rejected an £850-a-year increase for staff earning up to £25,000 a year from local authority umbrella body Cosla.
The GMB, along with with Unison and Unite unions, are calling for a £2,000 pay rise for staff.
'Spruce up the city'
Their call for industrial action came after council leader Susan Aitken was criticised for saying the city needed a "spruce up" before the conference.
The union denied workers were using the global climate conference as a bargaining chip but said staff had been "put in a corner" by Cosla despite their efforts during the pandemic.
GMB's Scotland senior organiser Drew Duffy said: "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.
"This will be a seven-day strike action, starting at 00:01 hours on Monday 1 November and ending at 23:59 hours on Monday 8 November, coinciding with the COP26 International Climate Conference.
"Further notices will be served on more councils later this week. If strike action is to be avoided, then a significantly improved offer must be brought forward to give our key workers proper value."
Glasgow City Council urged the union to think again.
'Constructive negotiations'
A spokesman for Cosla said: "We appreciate everything that local government workers have been doing, and continue to do, to support people and communities during the pandemic and as we begin to recover.
"We continue with on-going constructive negotiations."
The strikes are not the first to be announced for the COP26 summit, when the eyes of the world will be on the city.
About 120 world leaders and 25,000 delegates will be presented with a city where rail services are cancelled and cleaners and refuse collectors are out on strike.
Workers and unions have threatened walk outs during the gathering from 31 October to 12 November.

It led to Simmons demanding a trade and the stand-off that has been dominating the league media all off-season and now into the season. ?????? ???? ??
