May 10 Unite Achieves Parity Deal For Elderly Care Workers
Unite the Union today announced that they had secured a deal with the Government that will see health professionals working for the Elderly Residential Services of the Care Agency transferred to the Gibraltar Health Authority under new working conditions and pay scales. This move will, in effect, restore the parity that had existed until 2009 between workers of both authorities.
The parity agreement, which was a Government commitment, ensures that workers will now be receiving the same pay for what they argue is the same work. Workers will also receive backdated wages.
