HOMELESSNESS CASEWORKERS AND GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL

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.
