CCTV workers in Glasgow will go on strike again this weekend in a dispute over pay.

Employees of Community Safety Glasgow (CSG), an arms-length company of Glasgow City Council, are objecting to a new pay scheme involving the level of proposed shift payments.

More than 100 employees, all members of trade unions Unison and GMB, are to take part in the action.

Further planned strikes will coincide with the Scottish League Cup semi-finals at Hampden on October 22 and 23 and Bonfire Night on November 4 and 5.

Unison says CSG is intending to pay its workers less than other Glasgow City Council staff for working in the evenings, at night and the weekend.

CCTV operators, community payback workers, security assistants and advocacy workers are among those taking the action.

Benny Rankin, GMB Scotland officer, said: "Our members will be continuing their two-day weekly stoppages, which will include disruption to services at the weekends and the up-and-coming Celtic v Rangers match at Hampden and the Guy Fawkes weekend.

"There are also calls from our members to increase the dispute to withdraw services for the full two weeks at the Christmas and New Year period.

"Our dispute is just and not unreasonable. We ask once again that the Glasgow Labour administration get involved and resolve this dispute"

Brian Smith, Unison Glasgow secretary, said: "The trade unions believe that the payment levels are far too low compared to those in other parts of the Glasgow City Council family.

"For example, the night shift payment in the council is almost double that which CSG intend to pay."

A spokesman for CSG said: "It beggars belief that union leaders are arguing for a pay deal that would see members, who should be benefiting from a pay increase, take a cut in their wages.

"The vast majority of staff going on strike are in line to either retain their current levels of pay or benefit from a pay rise, in some cases up to £4500.

"Where a small number are facing detriment, we have guaranteed their pay for two years and made it clear we want to work with them and their union to find solutions during that time."
