Doncaster carer made homeless by savage pay cuts at private social care provider Care UK
Mags Dalton forced to move north as £400-a-month wage cut leaves her in 'little box room using a suitcase as a bedside table'
A carer with 26 years' service has been made homeless by the savage pay cuts imposed by her privateering bosses at Care UK.
A distraught Mags Dalton talked to the Morning Star yesterday as workers in Doncaster unleashed their 35th walkout standing up to the company’s poverty pay.
Speaking from the Unison picket lines, the 44-year-old said the care service’s privatisation would soon force her to move back to her parents’ house 100 miles away in Newcastle.
