Strike action took place by staff at three care homes operated by Minster Care Group - Baillieston, Stobhill and Cardonald Care Homes - amid a dispute over pay and conditions.
The first strikes at three private Glasgow care homes began today amid a dispute over pay and conditions.
Minster Care recently took over the three homes and has been hit by accusations from unions of wanting to slash overtime pay and reneging on previous pay offers.GMB Scotland members working in the homes overwhelmingly backed the action at the care homes after claiming the new owners refused to protect wages and conditions.
“We tried to resolve this dispute again and again but the company has never been serious about engaging with their staff and clearly had no intention of making a serious offer to avert this strike.
