A call center tasked with finding coronavirus cases is axing staff… despite Scotland being in the grip of a deadly second wave.
A union leader hit out last night after 18 “critical ” contact tracers were made redundant at Sitel in Motherwell.
Shocked staff has been left devastated after being let go – despite their contract originally being extended until the end of May.
Many of the workers were tier-three staff responsible for informing members of the public who have been in contact with a positive case.
Workers told how they were dismissed on Thursday with just a week’s notice.
David Mox ham, of the Scottish Trade Unions Congress (STUC), demanded answers on why crucial test and trace staff were being made redundant during the height of the pandemic.
