Scots warned as Scottish Water strikes may halt vital water and drainage work

  • GMB Scotland's Claire Greer noted that strikes follow Scottish Water's inadequate pay offers, which were overwhelmingly rejected by workers.
  • Scottish Water's Chief Operating Officer Peter Farrer expressed disappointment over negotiations and urged unions to negotiate rather than strike.
