BBC Interview: UNISON branch says Glasgow city council should defend public services

Brian Smith, Secretary
Glasgow City UNISON Branch

UNISON's Glasgow city branch secretary hit out today at Glasgow city council in a BBC interview.

Brian Smith urged councillors to defend public services and warned of the impact on services, families and the local economy of the council "implementing Tory cuts".

He said: "The workforce in Glagow would want to ask the council leader Gordon Matheson 'what are you going to do to protect services? Stand up to the government. Don't cut services.'"
