Care workers strike action to hit 99 days mark

Social care support staff on the picket line at County Hall

Adult and social care staff have been undertaking walkouts since last year over a pay dispute.

Their latest action was due to end on Sunday but the latest ballot has seen them down tools for a further two weeks.

It will take the total number of days on strike to 99 as negotiations continue to fail between County Hall bosses and unions - although fresh talks are now planned.
