Fair Wages for Edinburgh's Housing Support Workers Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/fair-wages-for-edinburghs-housing-support-workers.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:05 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Mark Chapman [Signature #209] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8591618?utm_medium=rss My Personal Assistant's (PAs) perform a very crucial role with a large responsibility. This is not reflected in their pay and conditions. Indeed, the failure of the Council not to award a public sector pay rise of 2.25% in 2009 to PAs has made them feel undervalued and seriously affected morale in their essential work. As a service user it is really difficult being a good employer whilst the Council continues to undermine pay and conditions.
