Fremantle Care Homes
EDM number 1166 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 19/03/2007.
That this House notes that care home workers in Barnet were transferred to Fremantle under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations five years ago; notes that Fremantle has threatened to sack these employees on 1st April 2007 unless they sign new contracts worth 35 per cent. less in pay, with reduced sick pay and holiday entitlement; further notes the distress caused to residents by the potential loss of trained and known staff; supports the campaign being waged by Barnet Unison and GMB against this appalling attack on already low paid workers; and calls on the company to withdraw the threat of dismissal and restore original terms and conditions and for the Government to review employment law to prevent such abuses of public service workers in the future.
This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
