Commenting on polling published today (Friday) by Citizens UK showing public support for a pay rise for care workers, UNISON assistant general secretary Christina McAnea said: “It’s clear there’s overwhelming public support for a pay rise for care staff. “These workers do a skilled job looking after the elderly and disabled people. But many struggle on poverty wages despite their dedication during the pandemic. “It’s time the government showed they valued care employees by ending poverty wages. Every worker should be on the real living wage as a bare minimum. This would help improve care and attract much-needed new recruits.” Notes to editors: Media contacts:
