“The rat buffet” is open for business, Glasgow's cleansing workers have warned, as the problem with vermin is expected to worsen during industrial action.
Thousands more waste and recycling workers are set to start strike action tomorrow (Friday), as crisis talks take place this afternoon between union, government, and council leaders over the Scottish local government pay offer.
GMB members in sixteen council areas, including Glasgow, will take an initial four days of action from Friday, August 26 until Monday, August 29, coinciding with existing action in the City of Edinburgh Council. And the number of rats spotted in Glasgow is expected to increase during the action as they will be able to access food more easily according to Glasgow GMB convenor Chris Mitchell.
