What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Talks regarding the pay dispute at Glasgow City Council collapsed after UNISoN withdrew its support for the pay offers. The council had previously proposed firing and re-hiring non-teaching staff to replace the current pay and grading scheme. The council stated it had reached its limit, arguing that with no agreement in sight, mass dismissals were the only way to implement a lawful replacement scheme.
