Care workers employed by Enable Scotland are to take strike action in Lanarkshire this week in a continuing dispute over pay.<\/p>\n

This is part of a co-ordinated wave of walkouts rolling out over five days across Scotland.<\/p>\n

The industrial action began in East Renfrewshire and continued last week in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire, with further strikes scheduled for Edinburgh and Glasgow over the coming days.<\/p>\n

UNISON Scotland regional organiser Jennifer McCarey said: \u201cThis has been a difficult decision for care workers. But they feel this is the only way they can get the Scottish government to listen to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cCare workers in Lanarkshire and across Scotland are standing up for themselves and for everyone who needs their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enable worker Alfons Crichton, a personal assistant working in North Lanarkshire, added: \u201cWe love our jobs and we know how much people rely on us. But we are some of the lowest paid workers in Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of us ever thought we\u2019d be on strike, but we\u2019ve had nothing but broken promises. This is about how much the Scottish government really values what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
