Police and firefighters demonstrate against pay and cuts

Police were demonstrating outside of a routine monthly meeting of the Scottish Police Authority

The body representing rank and file police officers in Scotland says they’re treated unfairly when it comes to pay because they’re not allowed to strike.

It wants an 8.5% rise, but the force has already cut officer numbers because of tight budgets.

Firefighters have also been demonstrating– about cuts to their service.
