Huge thanks to Northern MPs who took time yesterday to listen to the experiences of migrant workers in social care, in support of their Fair Visa Campaign. Social care and the NHS are reliant on them #fairvisasnow

What a turnout at the Fair Visa Day of Action!
Care workers from across the Northern region and the UK stood strong today, backed by UNISON.
They’re sending a clear message: government rule changes don’t just affect staff and their families - but everyone who relies on care.

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.

We're calling on all directly employed NHS staff in England to share your experiences of the pay structure and to tell the government why reforms are so urgently needed.
Now is your chance to get your voice in the room and show them how much this means.
