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.”
