More than 10,000 trade unionists and supporters marched through the streets of Glasgow in defence of pensions fairness this afternoon.
The march finished with a rally at Barrowlands, where UNISON Scotland secretary Mike Kirby declared: “Public sector workers are entitled to pensions that are affordable, sustainable and fair.
“Public sector workers are doing what successive governments have told them to do – to prepare for life after work.”
Addressing a massive crowd, Mr Kirby added: “Never before have so many public service workers and so many women taken action.
“We know that today’s strike is being led by women – 3.7 million could be affected by the plans to make detrimental changes to pensions.”
