GLASGOW care workers called for “investment not cuts” yesterday after news that the council want to axe 350 posts.
Unison Glasgow branch’s Sam MacCartney slammed plans by the council’s arms-length care company Cordia to force 1,600 workers onto new shift patterns, which the union claims would remove rights under the working time directive.
Mr MacCartney said the proposals “undermine workers’ health and safety, work-life balance and personal caring responsibilities.”
A Cordia spokesman said that the organisation needed “a more flexible workforce which will allow us to provide a service when it suits those often vulnerable people, rather than when we have capacity” in order to meet Care Inspectorate demand for a “high-quality, flexible service that provides continuity.”
The City of Glasgow has been named as the Britain’s best council of the year in the Local Government Chronicle awards.
