Did you know that MPs stop working at Westminster today until September 4th?
I'm sure you'd agree that the 1.6 million of us employed in social care in this country can’t afford to do that.
Let’s work together to make sure all of us have the chance to sign the national petition to link care and support worker pay to NHS Pay Bands, so that the two sectors work as one.
As one of the 71,000 people who has already signed – thank you.
Together we are already making a difference, with politicians on both sides starting to talk about connecting care and support worker pay to NHS pay bands.
We're going to work flat out to get the petition numbers as high as possible before we hand it in to Downing Street and go to the Party Conferences to keep pressing for this important change.
You can help. Please reshare the petition. Ask your employer to share it too. Let's do whatever it takes to get our voice heard.
Thank you
Duncan
