FOREIGN Secretary David Lammy has cancelled a planned visit to Scotland, a trade union has said.
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) said that the Labour Cabinet Secretary had been due to visit the Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office in East Kilbride next week – the same day strike action is due to begin.
Cleaning and catering workers at the East Kilbride site, employed by the outsourced OCS Group, will walk out on September 18 and 19 amid a dispute over pay, terms, and conditions.
PCS said that workers employed by OCS were earning less than those employed directly by the Foreign Office.
Lammy had been due to visit on the 18th, PCS said, but has now cancelled.
