Breakfast clubs are expected to go ahead during a three-day strike by primary school janitors.
A previous three-day walk out led to the cancellation of some clubs, which provide children who arrive at 8.15am with fruit, cereal and toast.
More than 130 primary school janitors are expected to take part in industrial action tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.
Their union Unison is at loggerheads with employer Cordia over Working Context and Demands (WCD) payments.
Some Cordia staff are allocated points for duties which involve physical demand, working outdoors or dealing with unpleasant conditions.
If enough points are accumulated, additional WCD rates are triggered which range from £500 to £1000 a year.
But primary school janitors are not currently entitled to the pensionable payments and members of Unison will walk out tomorrow for three days.
Despite this, a spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council insisted breakfast clubs are unlikely to be affected.
She said: “Our expectation is that all breakfast clubs will operate as normal during the three day industrial action.
“However, parents and carers need to be aware that this is subject to change at short notice depending of local arrangements and circumstances.”
Unison members began industrial action on January 19 by refusing to carry out some duties. They then went on strike from March 11 to 13.
Branch officer Sam Macartney has accused Cordia of “refusing to even meet these hard working janitors and their trade union”.
He added: “Unison is very clear that school janitors meet the criteria to be awarded this payment.”
A Cordia spokesman said internal procedures led to a rejection of Unison’s claim for WCD payments for janitors.
A spokesman said: “Cordia has completely exhausted all internal processes after negotiations with Unison and is not required to convene a meeting to further negotiate when at this stage, there is no possibility of a settlement.”
