		MPs have jetted off on their holidays leaving many senior care workers fighting for their jobs. UNISON is campaigning for justice for this much-valued group of staff...

Glasgow strike resolved
More than 550 social care workers in Glasgow returned to work today after three weeks on strike.
They voted on Friday to accept a new offer from the council that put an end to the long-running dispute over pay and grading.
UNISON says the solidarity of the strikers was key to the victory.
