The event drew counter protesters. They said they agreed with efforts to make Glasgow’s streets safer for women, but that the focus should be on all dangerous men.
Our attempt to interview one woman was repeatedly interrupted.

Celtic FC will soon welcome mainstream media into our stadium that lied about our supporters and undermined our manager in May.
Meanwhile, Celtic fan media remains banned.
Even by this Board’s standards, that is unacceptable.
We will continue to campaign for the ban to end.
Exporting jobs and importing carbon makes no sense.
1,000 oil & gas jobs in the North Sea could be lost every month over the next 3-4 years. Meanwhile, the growth of jobs in the renewables sector does not match the scale of the decimation of oil & gas jobs. That’s why for years Unite has campaigned against the ban on new drilling licences until there is a credible plan to transition jobs.
“We shouldn’t be letting go of one rope before we’ve got hold of another.” @UniteSharon on @SkyNews earlier this year.
@ewangibbs Aye he’s failed across multiple fronts. At least the head of GB Energy has got a cool 350k to fall back on.
That’s before we get to his anti strike rhetoric back in 2011.
Britain has almost no impact on climate change. All of the future growth comes in China and India. Why should the industrial workforce Labour was formed to represent be sacrificed for a symbolic gesture of compliance?
38 years service and too young to retire. A young worker unsure what comes next. A family with 3 kids.
Each job has its own story, and at Shieldhall, 80 are at risk.
It doesn't have to be this way.

"Just why?" asks Jamie.
Following his mum to work in the coffin factory, and working alongside his dad, his skill and passion for the job will be lost from Shieldhall if closure happens.
We say it doesn’t have to be this way.

Peter and his wife both work at the Shieldhall coffin factory. They have three kids. Now they face redundancy.
As Peter asks @CoopFuneralcare - what should they tell their kids?

42 years since the Battle of Orgreave, and miners beat up, fitted up and locked up by the authorities are still waiting for justice from a promised inquiry.
Workers fighting for their jobs and communities were mercilessly beaten and falsely arrested by police on the picket line.
📍See you in Sheffield this Saturday 13th June to demand truth and justice for Orgreave! @orgreavejustice
Union's reject anti-worker party👏🏽👏🏽
"Reform has shown absolutely no evidence that they are friends of workers. Not signing up to the Employment Rights Act, inferring privatisation of the NHS and threatening local authority pensions seems the exact opposite." - @UniteSharon

Typical boring replies of “educate them”.
Workers aren’t thick. It’s not a lack of understanding.
Our role as unions is to show them, in their workplace, that their issues can be solved collectively and go about teaching them how. This will then be replicated in their politic
EXC: New polling reveals Reform now winning as many union members as Labour
Unite’s Sharon Graham tells me: “Damning but not surprising”
