The murder of a police officer in Croydon today highlights the danger public service workers put themselves in to protect us. Our thoughts are with the officer's loved ones. As a union that represents police staff across the UK we want to say how proud we are of their work.
Today we're launching our campaign for sweeping reform in the home care sector. Care workers are criminally undervalued despite working on the frontline to support our most vulnerable. They're taking care of us, time we started taking care of them. https://www.gmb.org.uk/taking-care
The Government say workers can get access to sick pay support from their employer, but 1/3 of employees only get Statutory Sick Pay - just £95.85 a week. 3/4 of care workers only get SSP. It's not good enough. We need full sick pay for care workers. #CareFullPay@_OliviaBlake
We're calling on care providers in York to step up their response in protecting staff and patients from the spread of Covid-19. It’s vital that all parties respond as soon as possible to ensure that patients are best protected. https://www.gmb.org.uk/news/gmb-calls-answers-care-home-spending-york
No longer should it be an expectation that to work in care means minimum wage and no sick pay. We won't stop fighting for pay justice for our social care members. @CheerfulPodcast@KellyRed777
