Care workers walk out on strike over better pay

Council bosses say they continue dialogue with trade unions

Home carers in Falkirk, Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire – who are mostly low-paid women – have all walked out as part of the dispute.

The GMB Union is warning equal pay claims like these totalling tens of millions of pounds will risk sinking local authorities without government intervention.
