A joint-union letter, signed by UNISON, calls on the government to take an urgent interim step and increase eligibility.
We have written to all our district and county councillors to explain our pay claim for 2021 and to ask for their support.
UNISON has welcomed the return of clap for carers this week, but we urge both the public and politicians to start focussing more on pay and practical support than applause and appreciation.
The time for talking is over. A national care service is the only way to prevent more deaths. We need a resilient system, like the NHS.
