Glasgow’s cleansing workers are facing a “nightmare before Christmas” after union leaders said staff had missed out on ‘hundreds of pounds’ of agreed back-dated wages and warned that COSLA was threatening to u-turn on its pay settlement.sectors, a package was agreed that meant carers would no longer have to pay their own SSSC registration fees and that both carers and cleansing workers would benefit from an extra day’s holiday.
But GMB convenor Chris Mitchell is now concerned that the SSSC part of the deal could have a domino effect on other low paid workers in Glasgow meaning they won’t receive their back-pay.Mr Mitchell said: “Cleansing workers had hundreds of pounds deducted from their wages on Tuesday and they were depending on that backdated money for Christmas.who stood on picket lines.
