Stand Up For Social Care

Another course starting to training social care workers in organising! Kicking off with Nicky explaining UNISONs structure.

Incredible Migrant Social Care Workers meeting today to plan a campaign to stop the exploitation! So much energy and determination from everyone. Reform is needed at Gov level but a lot local councils can do to improve conditions too!

We're now at 61% of all North West Council's. Time for the rest to sign up!

The first Living Wage win of our campaign this year 🎆 Blackburn with Darwen council will become @LivingWageUK payers for commissioned care workers. @UnisonBlackburn

We've had some amazing feedback! @NorthWestUNISON social care team trialling meetings with new social care members and the feedback has been fantastic! 👏

Early morning visit to Belz Care owned Laburnum Court with @salford_mayor and @SalfordUnison where care workers are still not being paid and residents are being forced out of their care placements. Migrant care workers face losing their visa.

Care workers out in force in Liverpool this morning talking to people about the need for @liamrobinson24 to keep to his pledge and give a pay rise to care workers.

This @LivingWageUK Week we celebrate those paying Living Wage to care workers (60% of LAs in North West). How long do care workers need to wait for a wage they can live with dignity on in in these councils? #LivingWageWeek

It's Living Wage Week. We're celebrating that all 10 authorities in Greater Manchester are paying the @LivingWageUK to care workers making it the first Living Wage City Region for care workers. Well done to @AndyBurnhamGM, @bevcraig and @salford_mayor plus the other leaders! 👏
