Birmingham Care Workers under Attack – Lobbied Birmingham City Council Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday 31st July 2018 outside Victoria Square to save Home Care Enablement , which has since 2010 under Tory cuts seen the Social Care Budget in Birmingham slashed by almost three quarters. Putting the lives of the elderly and vulnerable at risk Workers are set to start an escalating programme of strikes that will see them walk out Wednesday 8th August 2018 followed by 12 more days of strikes throughout the month. Angry: Unison senior shop steward Mandy Buckley said workers are “furious at the effect this is going to have on them”. People are going to struggle to pay their mortgage, pay their bills, see their children,” she said. “It’s going to be a big loss.” The NUJ Birmingham and Coventry Branch also attended the event and showed solidarity – comrades Tony Adams, Barbara Goulden, John O, Stalingrad O’Neill and Chris Morley –who spoke at the podium and reassured the care workers, “the NUJ recognize the hard work, care workers do and we support you in your quest for job security and fair pay”
