@hognob42 Simple answer is yes! It’s soul destroying to say the least.😔

#GetInspired support Care Workers this #SocialistSunday who've been made exempt from Minimum Wage - thanks to that #DirtyCharity Mencap and the £42 BILLION 'care' sector.

With the dreadful Mencap ruling hanging over the heads of care and support staff the fight for the National Minimum Wage expectantly heads to the Supreme Court next year. Support the cause for justice. #awakeonasleepin #ExemptfromNMW #socialcare

#SundayThoughts

Speak out in the care industry and you're likely to loose shifts or be sacked; this is the reality for the hundreds of thousands of care and support staff.

#SundayThoughts Think about the lives of care and support staff the next time you pop in to buy a drink. They are denied the National Minimum Wage and told that they're only worth a cup of coffee for each hour they work. Would you work for £3 an hour? #awakeonasleepin

[linda fisher @lindaroslynd]

And will be returning to Supreme Court to try and ensure we remain exempt from being paid minimum wage .What a way for a so called charity to behave #awakeonasleepin

[Janet Newsham #NotJustLibertiesAtStakeButLives @jnewsham]

No one should have to spend their time away from their families on call and not receive a living wage for it, never mind the minimum wage!

[Warren Belcher @ermate]

@lindaroslynd @awakeonasleepin I’m saying good bye on a daily basis to care & support workers who are the most skilled professionals in #socialcare Its not through choice as they are dedicated,talented&diligent enabling real life & relationships. They simply cannot afford to live on such poor wages any longer.

Social care at 'crisis point' as fewer people getting the care they need, study finds https://t.co/937CNYfsmr via @telegraphnews

[#awakeonasleepin @awakeonasleepin]

Great to see the lovely @KeeleyMP & Labour committing to much needed social care reform, as opposed to the constant hollow nonsense to come from the Tories #GTTO #Everydayisdifferent #aCareworkersTale #ExemptfromNMW

#SaturdayMotivation Five years of fighting for the National Minimum Wage has left me with a £37,372.02 costs bill payable to the respondent’s lawyers. To continue the fight to the Supreme Court I need your help - just £1 or £2 pledged share & RT Thank you https://t.co/oZvOcp0nFk

[John Patrick Shannon @jshannontreacy]

The #NationalMinimumWage Act 1998 has had little sway in the world of the Social Care Sector. Tens of thousands of care and support workers are still not protected by law as the Court of Appeal reversed case law in favour of the employers.This cannot be allowed to stand!

[linda fisher @lindaroslynd]

Until care workers pay reflects the level of skill required and acknowledges the anti social element of weekend and late hours required these jobs will be difficult to fill . Some workers aren't even getting minimum wage

Our Bob saying it like it is! We think Bob may have a point! #DirtyCharities #socialcareSPIN #taxdodgers

[Debra Claridge @DebraClaridge]

@awakeonasleepin @RealMattLucas @JohnBishop100 @therealgokwan You cannot trust a 'Charity that fights their own workers in court to deny them their pay back and gets them exempt from Minimum Wage!! #FACT
Whilst their #FATCATS do very nicely - thank you very much.

#shameonMencap

[#awakeonasleepin @awakeonasleepin]

Hello @RealMattLucas, @JohnBishop100, @therealgokwan we noticed Mencap have asked 2 get in touch with yourselves, before you do please be aware of what they did 2 millions of #careworkers when they took them 2 court and made them exempt from national mini wage. #awakeonasleepin

[#awakeonasleepin @awakeonasleepin]

#ThursdayThoughts Did you know thousands of care workers across the UK are being paid less then NMW for all hours spent at work & work in an industry where WTR & policies are routinely broken & are expected to just put up with it. NOT ANYMORE! #awakeonasleepin #socialcarespin

[John Patrick Shannon @jshannontreacy]

It would be nice if @TwitterSupport could explain why both @awakeonasleepin and @jshannontreacy have been SHADOW BANNED. Is this a political decision I wonder??? @georgegalloway @KeeleyMP @LauraSmithMP @grahamemorris
