More confusion at Glenurquhart Road

The Courier reports an uneasy situation between the Highland Council and their Home Care workers:

"ANGRY union leaders are calling for imminent changes to the working arrangements for hundreds of home carers to be delayed, claiming a "ludicrous" lack a communication from local authority managers.
About 600 home carers, who provide care and support to people in their own homes, are due to start a new four days on/four days off shift system from 1st February."

Further into the article one of the Nairn employees is quoted:

"Margaret Anderson, a Nairn-based home carer and Unison shop steward, is amongst many still awaiting confirmation of her new working hours.

"I would have expected to have got a copy of the new contract so I could read it and go over the fine detail," she said."

Come on Highland Council get your act together, the home care workers deserve better treatment than this! Full article here.
