Submission History: Motion by Councillor Dan Hutchison:- "Council acknowledges the UK Government's anti-worker and anti-democratic legislation in the form of the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023. Council agrees that the right to remove one's labour is an essential tenet of democracy and that forcing workers to work degrades the strength of our democracy. Council acknowledges the First Minister's statement that the Scottish Government will not issue work notices under the legislation in Scotland. Council agrees that this is a good decision and hope that future Scottish Governments maintain this position. Council finally agrees that should a Scottish Government renege on this position, that Glasgow City Council will at no time use the legislation to force its staff to work and continues to recognise workers rights to remove their labour when in dispute with employers."
