Today's affirmation to #carers everywhere 👇🏿

[Bridget Male @BridgetMale81]

No pay rise for healthcare workers or even minimum wage for sleep in support staff but at least #PritiPatel’s #eyebrows are pruned. #ToryCriminals #ToryHypocrisy

We are here to support you. Get in touch!

This shows exactly how much the government really cares about "key workers". First they tell us that NHS staff will get a real-terms pay cut, then they tell us that social care workers are not even entitled to the minimum wage.
We need to organise and fight for ourselves.

Sleep-in care workers not entitled to minimum wage, supreme court rules https://t.co/aFPuS8djre

[THREAD] The #Census is taking place on 21st March 👇🏿

The Census is a survey that happens every 10 years, to let the Government know who they need to provide for in all services. It provides a picture of all the people and households in #England and #Wales.

@debiandahin @gio1974db @graceblakeley Exactly. The mainstream unions are impotent and tied to the state. Sure join them, but there are options outside of it such as grassroot unions, community organising and mutual aid.

[Leeds SolFed @LeedsSolFed]

The shameful weakness of these demands demonstrates clearly why we need a fully self-managed labour movement.

For too long, we've allowed leaders and bureaucrats to bargain away our rights without our say. We can't let this carry on.

[Bristol Care Workers Network @BristolCWN]

General secretary of the TUC "demands" workers have 80% pay. Weak, pathetic and utterly out of touch. 80% when already on low pay is not enough.

We have to fight for all our pay and more. #COVID19 #NHS #healthcareworkers

[Frances O'Grady @FrancesOGrady]

If England is going back into lockdown, for starters the government must:
- guarantee furlough at 80% of wages, open to all employers closed or hit by low demand
- get more help to the self employed
- fix sick pay
That’s how we protect jobs and livelihoods.

[Student Action Bristol @StudentsActBris]

We have surpassed 600 sign ups in merely a few days!

We are stronger with higher numbers. Continue promoting the rent strike and show the administration that we are united and will withhold our rent as long as it takes.
