With reference to your article on Your Choice Barnet planned strike action (‘Care workers plan to strike over pay cuts’, Times Series, September 4), it is important to remember that Barnet Borough Council is responsible for the difficulties facing Your Choice Barnet and its care workers.

Barnet Council created Your Choice Barnet and its flawed business plan. Barnet Council is the main commissioner of its services. Talks between Your Choice Barnet and Unison can only work if Barnet Council joins in and helps to resolve the problems that it is responsible for creating.
