Frankie Boyle backs Glasgow cleansing workers going on strike
Comedian Frankie Boyle has voiced his support for Glasgow’s cleansing workers, who are planning to strike during COP26.
Refuse and cleansing workers for Glasgow City Council who are members of the GMB union voted to strike to secure a better pay deal.
The strike will happen during COP26 - unless local authority body COSLA and the Scottish Government offer a better deal this week, according to GMB.
And now the cleansing workers have the support of Frankie Boyle.
The Glasgow comedian retweeted the GMB’s post and commented: “And good luck to them, they deserve it.”
