US EditionFestivalgoers Warned as Strikes Set to Cause Disruption over TRNSMT Weekend
- More than 100 Glasgow Subway workers will strike on July 11-13 during the TRNSMT festival at Glasgow Green.
- The strike stems from disputes over pay, shift allowances, and intolerable working conditions amid rejected interim offers from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport .
- Unite union officials say members often work up to 10 hours overtime weekly without pay improvements and face short-notice shift calls causing work-life strain.
- Unite general secretary Sharon Graham emphasized that the union's members are no longer willing to endure unacceptable work conditions, while Andrew Brown criticized SPT for having the ability to resolve the dispute at any time but choosing not to.
- The strike will halt the subway completely, disrupting around 50,000 daily festival attendees and highlighting ongoing tensions unless SPT makes an improved offer.
