GMB union members in Glasgow City Council parking services have begun two days of strikes. The walkouts coincide with the start of the UCI Cycling World Championships.
A council spokesperson said:"Pay negotiations are carried out nationally, through COSLA - not individual authorities.
"We are working with partners to manage the impact of industrial action on the UCI Cycling World Championships." Keir Greenaway, GMB Scotland senior organiser in public services, said:"Whether it is our members voting to strike in schools or those in parking taking action today, council staff are sick of being overworked and undervalued.
A COSLA spokesperson said:"The reality of the situation is that as employers, council leaders have made a strong offer to the workforce. A strong offer which clearly illustrates the value councils place on their workforce, and it compares well to other sectors. It recognises the cost of living pressures on our workforce and, critically, it seeks to protect jobs and services.
