THIS weekend, Unison is carrying the voices and hopes of our thousands of care worker members into Welsh Labour conference as we again seek to shape what a national care service should look like.
In moving our motion before delegates and in our fringe event, we’ll be arguing that only a publicly delivered and publicly accountable national care service can put the dignity and respect for the care workforce and those receiving care at its heart.
This mainly female workforce has been undervalued for far too long. They are taken advantage of because they love their job and see care as a vocation.
