PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HOMELESSNESS CASEWORKERS AND GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL (7 July 2015)

That this House notes that UNISON members employed as homelessness caseworkers by Glasgow City Council are now marking their 15th week of continuous, all-out industrial action over pay and grading issues, seeking parity with other social work staff undertaking similar tasks; further notes that the Council has attempted to discuss cutting staff numbers of those involved in delivering this service; supports the homelessness caseworkers in the work they carry out; and calls on Glasgow City Council to enter into meaningful dialogue and to settle this industrial dispute, ensuring that this vital service is protected and staff are upgraded appropriately.
