CCTV staff in Glasgow escalate strike action in pay row
CCTV operators in Glasgow are to escalate strike action amid an ongoing dispute over pay.
The staff at Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length council body, want better pay for shift work.
Members of the union, Unison, have already staged two 48-hour stoppages.
The union said its members would begin strike action at 07:00 this Friday until Monday evening and go-ahead with similar stoppages every weekend until a settlement was reached.
Unison Glasgow branch officer Jim Main said: "Our members have patiently waited for years - Community Safety Glasgow promised to sort this out.
"All the trade unions were given an implementation date for a new and fair payment system of April 2015.
"It is simply unreasonable to expect them to accept this any longer."
CCTV operators staged two previous 48-hour strikes earlier this month.
A spokesman for CSG said: "Public safety is paramount and we have business continuity plans in place to enable us to continue to monitor the city's CCTV network."
