Unite union members have voted in favour of 48 hours of strike action

There are fears the opening day of the UCI World Cycling Championships in Glasgow could turn into chaos as workers prepare to strike over pay.

The industrial action is due to begin at 7.30am, in a protest over poor pay. Glasgow Life, the charity which runs leisure facilities on behalf of the city council, is now trying to put plans in place to make sure the event can go ahead without disruption. And, both groups are set to meet for a rally at midday at the top of Buchanan Street, next to the statue of Scotland's inaugural First Minister, Donald Dewar.

“We repeat our calls for the Scottish Government to directly intervene because we are at an impasse, and the only way this dispute will be resolved is if an improved offer is put on the table for workers who deserve better from their elected representatives.”
