Ross Greer MSP visited Knit for Unity: Across the Globe, today  bringing a donation of wool from a knitting group at Bearsden Baptist Church. <br />
<br />
Knit for Unity was founded in November 2015 as a direct response to the developing humanitarian crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean, making hats, scarves and blankets for people in desperate need. The group has been widely supported with donations of wool and finished items, and has distributed finished knitwear to people in Lesvos and Calais. They have also supported recent arrivals from Syria, young families supported by Home Start, and people using night shelters in Glasgow. Knit for Unity meets every Monday at Maryhill Integration Network. <br />

  • Pictured: Burton’s Biscuite factory in Edinburgh will be a lot quieter as staff walk out on the first of three days  planned three 24-hour walkouts. Burtons Biscuits make Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodger biscuits  along with Cadbury biscuits under a perpetual licence.

GMB Scotland organiser Benny Rankin said: "Burton's stubborn stance on this year's pay offer is an insult to staff that have worked throughout the lockdown at management's insistence.<br />
 Their refusal to meaningfully engage with a workforce that deserve so much better means we have been left with little choice but to strike for a decent pay offer."<br />

Burton's Biscuits, which is owned by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan investment company, said the union was being unreasonable.  “Against the backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, the country entering a depression and rising levels of unemployment, we have made what we consider to be a series of very fair and reasonable offers, enabling us to provide job security alongside increased earnings.  Alongside the challenging environment, this action may only serve to jeopardise our employees' ongoing job security."<br />
