URGENT action is needed to support “underpaid, undervalued and overworked” staff in England’s adult social care sector, food workers said today.

BFAWU delegates gathered in Staffordshire for their annual conference unanimously backed a motion calling for zero-hours contracts tFo be banned and for home care workers to be paid for time spent travelling between clients.

The motion, which also included a demand for a food and fuel allowance regularly adjusted for inflation, received enthusiastic support at Yarnfield Park conference centre in Stone.
