A trade unionist leading the Glasgow cleansing service strikes has said investing in the service is an environmental issue as climate activists in the city for Cop26 joined striking workers on the picket line.

Climate activists and delegates, as well as international trade union representatives, joined the city’s striking cleansing workers at the western depot in Kelvinhaugh Street on Wednesday.
