Yesterday we handed in our legal strike notice. From the 1st of November, for 8 days, Glasgow’s waste workers will be taking Industrial Action during #COP26 We all want a clean, green, sustainable City, and it starts with a fair pay deal for Key Workers at the bottom.

The FM has just said that in calling out the state of Glasgow streets, GMB Scotland, cleansing workers & allies are ‘talking Glasgow down’ No. The SNP Gov & Council are letting our city down Anas Sarwar asked FM to meet workers & hear it first hand. She refused. As my MSP…1/2

…I ask the FM, again, to meet the workers & recognise the gravity of the situation. Only this week, I found rats in my flat😭! I am one of thousands of households being let down. Stop treating us with contempt. Meet workers and pay them properly.

Our Vice Chair Billy Stewart moving our motion on #CostOfLivingCrisis at #ScotLab22. 'Our public service workers have made great efforts during pandemic. How are these essential workers expected to cope with derisory below inflation pay offers? Labour must support our pay claims'

Katrina Murray MP moving our emergency motion @ #ScotLab22 on National Care Service. 'Charging the NHS £9 for a £1.50 sandwich for a patient who has spent 8 hours in A&E is an obscene part of our PFI contracts & illustrates why we need a NCS without the profit motive' UNISON Scotland

Solidarity with RMT and Nautilus International workers. The way P&O Ferries have behaved to their staff is a disgrace. Working people need new rights and stronger unions, and a new deal at work. labourunions.org.uk/newdeal

Great to hear from Anas Sarwar and Tracey Dalling our new UNISON Scotland Scottish Secretary at today's Scottish Labour Link Forum. Meeting started with Eleanor Haggett, our chair extending solidaity to #StandUpToRacism marchers and RMT & Nautilus International over #PandOBetrayal

Discussions covered National Care Service and joint work to ensure it is not just a national commissioning service, we'll continue to push on a not for profit basis too; #solidarityWithUkraine; #EqualPayGlasgow; need for more diverse and woment trade unionist council candidates.

The upcoming local election is a cost of living election. Scottish Labour is on your side. On the 5th of May vote for Scottish Labour.

Today, I announced further plans to tackle the cost of living crisis. 🚌 A cap on bus fares at £1.80, so everyone can afford to get where they need to go. 🚂 Halving train fares, allowing people to work and visit Scotland at an affordable price. Vote Scottish Labour on 5th May

So Rishi Sunak thinks that his billionaire wife's income - and where she pays taxes - is off-limits for scrutiny, yet when I applied for Universal Credit I was asked questions about the income of everyone in my household. One rule for wealthy Tories, another for the rest of us.

Wherever you are in Scotland, our candidates will stand up for you, your family, and your local community. May 5 #VoteScottishLabour

Tomorrow's the day. Elect a local champion. #VoteScottishLabour

Vote Labour 🌹

Love Scotland? Vote Labour.
