[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Shabana Mahmood’s failure to engage properly with the migrant workers whose lives her nasty proposals will devastate is totally unacceptable.

These are brilliant, committed workers who hold our public services together.

UNISON won’t tolerate them being attacked and ignored.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

How on earth did we miss this?!

Care workers shackled and protesting outside the Labour Party conference against @ShabanaMahmood proposals to extend Indefinite leave to remain.

They came here legally, they work incredibly hard looking after some of the most vulnerable people in our society, they pay tax and contribute to the system.

Shabana Mahmood needs to listen.

And honestly, I struggle to understand how Andy Burnham squares this with saying he cares about social care and these workers, while supporting a political direction that cuts migration and makes settlement harder for the very people keeping care services going.

This is what solidarity looks like.

🚨 STRIKE BALLOT: Council and school workers

Being worse off is not a pay rise. Your pay has fallen by over 20% in real terms since 2010. It’s not fair. And it’s time to have your say.

🗳 Strike ballot opens 9 July
Vote YES for strike action

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Would you work one day a week for no pay? That's what council and school staff are being asked to accept. With real terms pay down 28%, we say 3.3% is not enough.

Help improve the offer; sign the pledge today and be part of the plan to win.

Unions have backed the call for a workplace temperature maximum as school exam season could be set to go ahead in a heatwave.

UNISON AGS Jon Richards says setting a maximum temperature for workplaces “is essential”
