Glasgow council workers face pay cuts under fire-and-rehire plan
Original: Glasgow council workers face pay cuts in fire-and-rehire plan after union talks break down https://www.theguardian.com/s
Glasgow City Council is moving ahead with a fire-and-rehire plan that would cut some workers' pay, after negotiations with trade unions broke down. The move means staff could be dismissed and re-employed on reduced terms, a practice widely criticised by unions and politicians. Attention is now turning to possible strike action and the impact on council services.
Why now: Union talks collapsing over threatened pay cuts makes the dispute imminent and raises the prospect of industrial action.
