Show Notes
Eight welding and fabrication lecturers at City of Glasgow Colleges Riverside campus have initiated strike action due to severe health and safety concerns related to exposure from carcinogenic welding fumes. The union alleges ongoing issues such as missing risk assessments, inadequate safety training, lack of protective masks, and no health checks for exposed staff. Despite the colleges claim of full compliance and low exposure levels, the union successfully conducted a ballot for strikes, with support from union reps and a former welder who emphasized the high cancer risks faced by welders. The college continues to provide training to minimize disruptions, but more strike dates are expected if negotiations fail.
