Glasgow in financial trouble, Unison warns
0Union leaders in Scotland have warned Glasgow City Council is facing a £152m budget black hole over the next three years.
The union highlighted the council’s own financial forecast of a £51m shortfall next year, with a further £44m and £47m deficit identified for the following two years.
Brian Smith, of trade union Unison, said the pressures were “on top of around £400m in cuts to jobs and services in the last decade.
He said: “The people of Glasgow, the services which they rely on and the workers who provide them are not to blame for the austerity politics of successive national governments or the decisions of previous Glasgow administrations to continuously defend gender pay inequality.”
