The council is hiring 52 new staff
Glasgow GMB convenor Chris Mitchell has hit out at claims the union was "lying" about Glasgow's cleansing crisis as the council launches “deep clean” teams.
Mr Mitchell said: “I have been on the forefront of this for years regarding the deep clean of the city. I was also accused of lying on how bad the city was with my dirty streets campaign. “Rats were over running the city, bins were overflowing, fly tipping was becoming an environmental catastrophe. “More investment, more employment and hopefully back to the days we can build pride in our communities and cleansing workers will and always be a part of that.”
“It has to be acknowledged that the impact of the pandemic on our services was significant with staff directly affected by covid and the various restrictions altering how we could operate.
