PRIVATE care-home workers are having to abandon their families and move into their workplaces 24-hours a day, it was revealed today.
One profiteering private care provider has told staff to sign forms committing them to “pack supplies” and “remain on site” for unlimited periods with no extra pay, the GMB union said.
The union, which represents thousands of care-home workers, says some are being told they cannot leave their workplace unless another worker is available to take over.
