Housing services across Sheffield could ‘grind to a halt’
after council staff voted to take industrial action. Members of the GMB union
at Sheffield Council’s housing services voted in favour of action in a row over
changes to workers terms and conditions and the introduction of the council’s
new housing management scheme, Housing Plus. They are planning a period of
working to rule, starting in a week, followed by strike action in January. Staff
claims the scheme is not working in the south-east area of the city where is it
being piloted and customer satisfaction is low. They also say the restructure
will result in pay cuts and staff becoming ‘jack of all trades and master of
none.’ Read more on the Sheffield Telegraph website.
