ICYMI: @GMBGlasgowCC's successful strike ballot over the issue of equal pay in Cordia and Glasgow City Council made the STV news last night. "This is a protest against a decade of institutionalised discrimination". http://bit.ly/CordiaStrike
.@GMBGlasgowCC stopping traffic with their Unison colleagues in George Square today, demanding full and fair settlement of all equal pay claims. GMB Scotland’s strike ballot on the issue closes today.
The @ScottishTUC Black Workers' Committee have arranged a lecture on the 5th of October on the history of the St. Andrew’s Day March & Rally, and its role in the fight against racism in Scotland. Free entry, all details on the flyer, so please get along & support this event.
NEW: Following on from yesterday's @INEOS announcement, GMB Scotland has a message to councils - respect and recognise the 'blue book' for engineering and construction. https://bit.ly/2x7wrnB
As GMB Scotland previously highlighted (http://bit.ly/2N7FFtZ), those employed as cleaners and janitors in Mitie-managed schools across Ayrshire are being paid almost £1 per hour less than their equivalents - who are directly employed by the 3 councils.
This is Hannah (one of our younger activists). She’s backing strike action in Cordia and Glasgow City Council in order to secure equal pay for thousands of Glasgow’s working women.
