Social-care staff fight Reform council for fairness
Local council austerity has long denied fair pay to overstretched care staff, but the fight in Lancashire is now against a Reform-led council, reports Michael Lavalette.
Michael Lavalette was back on the picket lines with Lancashire County Council (LCC) Social Care Support Staff, and honoured to be given time to speak and offer solidarity at their end-of-picket meeting.
The Social Care Support Officers put in a regrade claim in 2022, as LCC found that the majority of staff were working above their pay grade, but refused to regrade them.
The support staff used to work alongside social-work staff but now many are being tasked with undertaking social-work jobs.
Adult social care at LCC has recently had a terrible review from the Care Quality Council.
