At a meeting of Derby City Council tonight, the Tories and Liberal Democrats forced through significant cuts in the conditions of employment of social workers and other social care staff. Many of these workers are already earning a low wage and this is a disgraceful way to treat workers who are doing a vitally important job.
There are already a large number of social work vacancies in the city but the motion that was forced through the full council meeting tonight will almost certainly lead to an increase in vacant social work posts. And that will make it even more difficult to protect vulnerable children and elderly people.
The conduct of the Conservative and Liberal Democrats at tonight’s meeting gives an insight into how a Tory government would treat public services and public sector workers.
It’s another compelling reason why people should vote Labour in Derby North.
