60% of frontline care workers in England earn below the real living wage 30% are paid the minimum wage 35% are on Zero Hours Contracts They don't just need applause, they need decent pay and conditions. That means massive public investment and public ownership.

And many careworkers only get SSP if sick after losing the first 3 days pay.Time for change.

There are 4 staff on shift today, working super hard to provide care and support for individuals with disabilities one of which has symptoms of Coronavirus; however the lack of PPE is preventing this. We have ONE set of goggles and ONE visor in the whole service! #COVID19 #PPE

Dominic Cummings probably wrote this for Boris Johnson. #irony March 18th - "Children should not be left with older grandparents" #dominicgoings

Off to work in a mo..til 230pm tomorrow..that's 31.5hrs at work for less than NMW phr. Things have to change. Careworkers deserve better.

Confession: I have a "Fuck Boris" T Shirt and revel in the dirty looks I get when I wear it round the supermarket.

Why are you going to charge NHS heroes to park at hospitals again, Boris Johnson Matt Hancock ? What is the matter with you?

VICTORY 🥳🥳 UNISON members and workers at Liverpool Lifeways, a supported living setting, recently won an uplift in sleep in pay after submitting a collective letter to their employer demanding an increase.

Masks categorically do not reduce oxygen saturation. This is a lie made up as an excuse by those who believe the pandemic is a hoax and that wearing a mask somehow encroaches on their rights. This is not an issue of freedom. /1

Shame on the Government. Their new 'Health and Care Visa' excludes social care workers. After months of publicly clapping for carers, last week the PM blamed them for COVID deaths and now tells them they're not welcome to live and work here. Outrageous.
