Glasgow council is attempting to sack and reappoint 23,000 workers under less favourable terms.
About 23,000 Glasgow council workers – all of the council's non-teaching staff – face being sacked and reappointed under less favourable terms in what would be one of the UK's biggest 'fire-and-rehire' exercises. The SNP-led council is implementing a new pay and grading system, and negotiations with the GMB, Unison and Unite unions broke down last week.
The unions have taken different positions on the council's offer. The Guardian reports that Unison refused to ballot members on the proposed deal. However, the Evening Standard reports that Unison subsequently agreed to take a new pay offer to members following renewed negotiations.
