Striking janitors now face job cuts

GLASGOW’S striking janitors were dealt a blow this week as bosses threatened to slash their jobs.

The school janitors escalated their strike action this week in a bid to be granted an extra payment worth between £500 and £1,000 a year for undertaking duties which are dirty, involve regular outdoor working and heavy lifting.

On Thursday, their union Unison met with Cordia management to discuss a resolution to the industrial action, which has been ongoing since January.
