Home care staff in Renfrewshire have continued strike action after claiming the latest pay offer"undervalues" their work.It comes after care workers first gathered in George Square at the beginning of April to call for equal pay amid accusations bosses have been underpaying them for years.
“The detail of how and when back pay will be calculated could make thousands of pounds of difference to our members." “The council must understand that having come so far, our members are in no mood to be underpaid again and will continue to fight for every penny that is owed to them.In Renfrewshire, the union said the first review of care workers’ roles in 16 years did not recognise the skills and specialist experience of staff and failed to properly assess their new responsibilities of delivering complex care and support.
