Great to see @ClydesdAileen's support for free sanitary products for Asda workers. This was won by GMB reps in Edinburgh's Jewel store Jackie & Gary! https://tinyurl.com/uljxjh4 GMB fully supports @MonicaLennon7's campaign for period products for everyone in Scotland who needs them

It is always female-dominated services like home care, early years’ services and school catering that are first in line when it comes to council cuts. This isn’t a coincidence. @DundeeCouncil must make provision in its budget to end this discrimination. https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/union-bosses-accuse-dundee-city-council-of-rampant-sexual-discrimination/

ICYMI: Alister Jack 'abandons' Scottish workers and blames free market for job losses. #Reshuffle https://www.thenational.scot/news/18231107.jack-accused-abandoning-scottish-workers-blaming-free-market-forces-job-losses/

MSPs’ staff could back strike action over pay increase dispute https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18230899.msps-staff-back-strike-action-pay-increase-dispute/

MSP staff are on the frontline of Scottish democracy, providing the vital link between the public & our elected representatives in Holyrood. What this farce clearly shows is that they need to be able to collectively bargain on their own pay & conditions. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-51474704

After a decade of austerity, Angus Council’s solution for savings is to squeeze the lowest-paid once again. Bluntly this is a prescription for poverty and sex discrimination and we are strongly urging the council to think again before imposing these cuts. https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/angus-council-workers-vote-overwhelmingly-to-reject-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The Queenslie depot isn’t fit for purpose - the roof is falling in, windows are in a state of disrepair and it’s affected by leaks and corrosion. That @GlasgowCC is looking to cram more workers into it says it all about how cleansing workers are valued. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18228009.workers-union-hit-baltic-street-depot-closure-dalmarnock/

NEW: Roads And Waste Workers “Forced To Strike” In West Lothian Council: https://tinyurl.com/slqghu4 "An intrusive and targeted drug and alcohol policy that would make West Lothian Council the most heavy-handed employer in all of Scottish local government".

This is another depressing example of ASDA prioritising profits over people. Instead of protecting and supporting their employee, providing a safe working environment, they have hung the employee out to dry. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/asda-staff-threaten-bosses-strike-21457549
