Submission History: By Councillor Robert Mooney:- "Council notes that efficient, effective and prioritised public transport is a crucial element in our response to the Climate Emergency, and that requires staff to be properly rewarded for their work; that the RMT have begun a strike ballot, following a pay dispute with ScotRail; that Unite members employed by Stagecoach in West and Central Scotland have voted in favour of strike action; and that these both bus and rail services have received significant subsidies throughout the pandemic from the Scottish Government. Council further notes that the trade unions representing Glasgow City Council staff are poised to strike over pay and conditions; and that potential strike action is also due to fall during COP26. Council believes that the services these workers deliver are vital to our communities and Glasgow's citizens; that demands for better pay and conditions is in line with this Council's previous decisions; that these 'key workers' kept the country moving during the early days of the pandemic; and should therefore be compensated accordingly. Therefore, Council resolves to support the demands of the RMT and Unite the Union in these disputes; and calls on the Scottish Government to step in at the earliest opportunity to ensure that the demands of workers are met."
