Tukey for GLM can't find data in model

I have a dataset were I performed a GLM on. Now I want to see were my difference between groups is so i tried to perform a Tukey as post-hoc test.

Because of the GLM i can't perform a TukeyHSD. So I tried to perform a tukey with: summary(glht(my.mod, mcp(treatment="Tukey"))). When I try to perform this test I get this error: Variable(s) ‘treatment’ have been specified in ‘linfct’ but cannot be found in ‘model’!

This is what it looks like in R:

Could anyone help me with my problem?
