A worker has criticised Glasgow City Council’s plans involving fire and rehire, saying the council is letting staff down. The BBC reported that the council announced the move after talks over a new salary structure reached a stalemate.

It also does not identify the worker, state which staff would be affected or give the council’s response to the criticism. The dispute follows unsuccessful negotiations between the council and staff representatives over how to revise pay arrangements.
