Glasgow’s bin collectors have gone on strike just as world leaders gather in the Scottish city for a crucial summit on the climate crisis

in the build up to the summit, with the government also facing criticism over plans to give the controversial cambo oil field the go ahead.

GMB Scotland secretary Louise Gilmour said: ‘We met the council in good faith, offering a clear set of proposals to reset industrial relations and avoid strikes. The council rejected these proposals.’ The GMB was calling for a £2,000 pay rise and previously turned down an offer of an £850-a-year increase for staff earning up to £25,000.
