Humza Yousaf has hailed Scotland’s care workers as he urged the owner of three Glasgow care homes to avert looming strike action.
SCOTLAND'S First Minister has written to the owners of a trio of crisis-hit Glasgow care homes in a bid to avert looming strike action.
The homes, where 150 residents are cared for, were previously run by the Four Seasons group before being take over by Silverline Care earlier this year. It has subsequently passed their day-to-day operation on to the Minster Care Group. Union bosses say workers’ pay and conditions should have been protected during the transfer of ownership under TUPE legislation but GMB Scotland organiser Kirsty Nimmon claims that new management have instead tried to drive down pay and conditions, as well as reneging on a previous pay deal.She says the overwhelming support for strikes shows the anger that now exists among staff.
“They appreciate Humza Yousaf’s obvious appreciation of the job they do and only wish the company would show the same respect for their crucial efforts.
