 The striking workers accepted a new offer from Glasgow City Council |
Glasgow social care workers have called off their strike action after accepting a new offer from the city council. About 550 staff, represented by the Unison union, have been on strike since 24 July in a dispute over a salary and grading review.
Following a mass meeting on Friday, the workers voted to accept the new offer, which gives all but a handful of them the grading that was sought.
The employees will return to work on Monday.
Mike Kirby, Unison's Glasgow branch convenor, said: "The new offer delivers the grade 5 that our members felt best reflected the responsibilities they carry out.
"The proposal also leaves open the details on how people will progress beyond the initial salary, and this will be the subject of further negotiation.
"The solidarity of the members on strike was instrumental in delivering the key objective that they sought.
"They have a right to be satisfied with the outcome of their action."
