Labour had planned to present a motion to full council last week which supported Keir Starmer's 'new deal for workers'. The SNP want to see workforce legislation devolved.
Labour is trying to “pull the wool over Glaswegians’s eyes”, a senior SNP councillor has claimed amid a row over workers’ rights.
Cllr John Carson, Labour, who had intended to present the motion at last week’s full council meeting but did not have time, said the SNP was “playing political games” rather than working to advance a new deal for workers. The motion claimed the plan would strengthen rights at work, end fire and rehire, make work more family-friendly, ban zero-hours contracts and raise pay and conditions.
“While workforce representatives are appealing to Labour to urgently change course, it’s incredible to see Glasgow Labour hailing Reeves’ sham plans as the salvation of the working people. In response, Cllr Carson said: “Glasgow Labour is incredibly proud that workers’ rights will be at the forefront of the next Labour government. Labour’s new deal for working people has been developed in conjunction with the trade union movement and will be transformational for working people in Glasgow and across Scotland.
