There is an industrial dispute brewing over the introduction of a hi-tech admin system run by bin lorry drivers within Glasgow City Council, says one GMB representative.
Glasgow’s rubbish collection service is a dirty mess. There is an industrial dispute brewing over the introduction of a hi-tech admin system run by bin lorry drivers.
He added: “It doesn’t matter how much technology we have, technology doesn’t empty the bins and sweep the streets.” With arthritis in both knees, Craig can’t work on lorries any more. Instead, he does 27,000 steps a day picking up coffee cups and ginger bottles. His shifts have changed, meaning it now costs him £1000 a year to get to work.
“There used to be a scraping crew who would clear all this, then it would be sprayed. Gutters would be cleared of weeds, leaves and litter. Now they are left, which causes localised flooding.” “I have phoned and emailed the council. They told me someone will come when they are available. Since then people have added to it. I’m mortified.”
