SOME 8,000 female workers recently went out on a 48-hour strike in Glasgow over equal pay.
The long-running dispute between the GMB and Unison-represented workers and Glasgow City Council (GCC) concerns the women being paid in some cases £3 an hour less than their male counterparts.
The strike involved more than 2,000 GMB members who provided round the clock home care for 87,000 service users, as well as cleaning and catering services for schools and amenities across the city.
