“Services for the disabled and elderly will be scaled back in ways that will really affect people’s lives.
UNION bosses have warned that front line services will be right in the firing line thanks to multi-million pound cuts.
EDUCATION, social work and cleansing services will all be hammered by the brutal £50million cuts at Scotland’s biggest council.
Public sector workers’ union Unison last night said it would be crazy to think the axe will not fall on the frontline.
Glasgow City Council have said they will have to make the cuts over the next two years. It will mean 1000 jobs going by 2015 on top of 3000 staff who have left since 2010.

Joan Newton, 82, remembers hearing a paramedic repeatedly phoning to find out where the ambulance had got to as she lay distressed, cold, her clothes soaked in blood, and fearing she had broken her neck.
But it was a St John Ambulance vehicle which finally arrived to take her to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where a deep gash in her head was stitched and she remained for two days and nights.
The East of England Ambulance Trust (EEAST) has said the incident happened at a busy time but a paramedic had arrived to care for Miss Newton within the 30-minute response time for a patient reported to be fully alert and breathing normally.

Terminally ill internet star Alice Pyne has been told that her mother’s child benefit could be taken away unless she goes to college.
Alice, 16, came to international prominence when a list of the things she wants to do before she dies was posted on the internet last year.
Alice and her sister Milly, 13, from Ulverston in south Cumbria, also received the British Empire Medal this year for services to charity after raising more than £100,000.
The spokesman said although he could not give specific details about Alice’s child benefit payments, her case was now being investigated by the HMRC and her parents are being contacted.
“We are contacting her parents just to find out what the circumstances are in this case,” he said.
