Join our online event to keep the pressure on commissioners and employers to pay the living wage in Suffolk.
Tell me more!
Care staff continued caring for Suffolk’s most vulnerable residents during the pandemic despite three-quarters not even earning a real living wage.
And many have been taking home even less during the pandemic when off sick with Covid or forced to self-isolate to protect their colleagues and the vulnerable people they care for.
Low pay and high stress levels are now forcing thousands out of the already-stretched care sector. UNISON warns that urgent action is needed to stop care hurtling past crisis point.
The union is launching You Care We Care to draw attention to the care crisis and push Suffolk County Council, which is responsible for care services, to ensure workers get a living wage.
Speakers
Speakers include:
- Christina McAnea, UNISON general secretary
- Sandy Martin, Suffolk County Councillor (Labour)
- Kezia Pugh, Living Wage Foundation
- and frontline social care workers in Suffolk
