Scottish First Minister urged to intervene as strike action threatens to “blight” UCI Cycling World Championships Walkouts, involving staff in parking services and at the Emirates Arena, are set to begin on 3 August, the opening day of the worlds cycling
Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf has been urged by trade unions to intervene in a pay dispute, as councillors claim that the upcoming UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow could be “blighted” by the proposed strike action.
“COSLA has two weeks to get around the table with the trade unions,” Mitchell said. “We want to avert strike action and people want to be able to come to this city and enjoy it but we are not going to sit back because it is our members that are at the very heart of this. “Glaswegians who are looking forward to welcoming world-class cyclists to the city will be dismayed by the prospect of the event being disrupted,” Glasgow City Council’s Conservative leader Thomas Kerr said.
GMB Scotland’s senior organiser for public services Keir Greenaway said in a statement: “We have given COSLA every opportunity to reach an agreement on a pay offer that would fairly reflect the value of our members and the crucial work they do. We then gave the Scottish Government every opportunity to intervene and help secure a fair offer.
As Scotland prepares to host the inaugural ‘combined’ UCI World Cycling Championships in under two weeks’ time, the planned industrial action isn’t the only potential hiccup that the organisers have had to overcome in recent weeks.finish of two of the championship’s events has been moved after locals complained about road closures
