Andrew Dismore – on real Loyalty – Your Choice Barnet
“It is outrageous that Your Choice Barnet is cutting care workers’ pay by 9.5%. These dedicated workers are not paid nearly enough to start with, and pay cuts like this are a kick in the face to these hardworking staff who do a demanding job, that most people would find they could not do nearly as well or as cheerfully.
YCB talks about loyalty- but YCB workers in this desperate dispute for justice show what real loyalty means. Not sham ‘loyalty’ out of fear of hardship to a heartless and exploitative ‘rip off’ boss, but loyalty to their clients who need a decent service for which decent pay should be awarded; and loyalty to each other, through their solidarity and support for their union backed by its members, including myself, who are standing side by side with YCB workers in their fight for a fair settlement .’
