Jobcentre staff announce strike
(UKPA) – 43 minutes ago
Jobcentre Plus staff across Scotland are to stage a 24-hour strike in an escalating row over working conditions and a "target driven culture".
Members of the Public and Commercial Services union based in more than 30 call centres across the UK will walk out on April 18 after accusing management of showing "little willingness" to resolve the dispute.
In a ballot of the union's 7,000 members in the call centres, 70% of those who took part voted for strike action, with a turnout of 43%.
The strike will hit call centres, including those in Glasgow and Dundee, the union said.
The action follows a two-day strike in January by more than 2,000 workers in Jobcentre Plus's seven newest contact centres who complain of being forcibly moved from processing benefit claims to handling inquiries by phone.
The union said it wants to improve the levels of customer service in call centres, end a target driven culture, particularly by changing the way "unrealistic" average call times are used, and introduce proper flexible working arrangements.
I think we are seeing people getting fed up doing what the government and ATOs demand....
Atos nurse she is not the first one either a few have come out with problem working for this out fit.
I see today labour are now changing track on welfare, of course nothing to do with the Votes in May
