The answer is to a) retain ILR at 5 years as was promised to these workers, b) end the tie to a single employer which just facilitates abuse, and c) radically improve pay and conditions in care so there isn't a huge supply gap in UK labour.

🚨 UNISON's meeting with the home secretary was cancelled after a migrant worker was barred from attending.

@AndreaEganGS explains why she refused to meet without the workers directly affected by the government's proposals.

Remembering the formidable anti-racist campaigner Anwar Ditta.

A working-class Kashmiri woman, she was born in Birmingham and lived in Rochdale, sharing platforms with the likes of Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill and leading numerous anti-deportation campaigns.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Today, migrant care workers are taking their message directly to Labour conference - keep your promise to the workers who came to the UK to care for our communities.

They'll be joined by @AndreaEganGS and others.

For those we lost, and for those who are still fighting for Truth and Justice.
Memory as an act of resistance
Together we stand, united in struggle

[SYMAAG @SYMAAG]

53 years since the fascist coup in Chile.
Decades since South Yorkshire welcomed refugees from Chile.
Now we're delighted to work with Sheffield's Chilean community to mark that solidarity.
#Sheffield event on Saturday September 12th - save the date! #RefugeesWelcome #Chile

This level of violence against Muslims is completely unacceptable.
Where are the strong condemnations, the emergency meetings, the taskforces to tackle it?

Workers contribute. This is a Refugee Tax. Plain and simple.

Making recognised refugees pay for the privilege of being put in barracks to fund private profiteers who benefit from government generosity.

[RefugeeX 🧡🌍🧡 @asylumseekerx]

@ZoeJardiniere They never mention the option of giving us work permits from day one. Because that option doesn’t serve political populism.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Extorting £10,000 from refugees is a perfect illustration of what this immigration bill is:

Pure performative cruelty.

All it will do is price out recognised refugees - who will live here for the longterm regardless - from becoming citizens & feeling that security & belonging.

.@Taj_Ali1 "I spoke to a Muslim woman last night who lives in Belfast who said that she knows of a dozen families, mostly Muslim, whose homes had been targeted.. its very important to make clear that this is planned violence, targeted violence against ethnic minority communities"

[Melissa Sigodo @melissasigodo]

A friend just told me they watched a news segment on Belfast and racism wasn’t mentioned once.

For editors out there in any doubt, when all Black people are targeted after the act of one Black person, that’s the definition of racism.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

This is why UNISON opposes proposals to extend the Indefinite Leave to Remain period and calls for a sector-wide visa scheme for migrant workers in the care sector.
