Care workers spend their working lives supporting others. They deserve security in retirement too. The health secretary's announcement of a national collective pension scheme is a direct result of campaigning by UNISON members. UNISON is ready to work with government to make it a reality.

Migrant care workers rally outside Labour conference

Andrea Egan:
The NHS, social care and other essential services rely on the hard work of migrant staff.

People came to this country to help look after our loved ones on the promise of being able to settle in the country after five years.

Now the government is breaking that promise with the threat of up to 15 years of insecurity and exploitation.

The government must drop these plans, and invest properly in public services.

Andrea Egan, UNISON general secretary
will be joining workers at the rally today
