UNISON members employed by "Your Choice Barnet" are striking today in opposition to the imposition of pay cuts caused by outsourcing and underfunding.
The Barnet strikers are setting an example to social care workers throughout the country. Without a concerted fight for decent living standards for care workers we face a future in which social care remains a sector dominated by poverty pay and precarious employment.
UNISON members should send messages of support - and join the picket lines if you can.
Good luck comrades!

I fear that UNISON's policy of one day strikes followed by dead silence from the leadership for months afterwards will always result in (a) very low turnouts in ballots and (b) one-day strikes which are supported less enthusiastically than they should be. A vast amount of energy is wasted on something that is bound to fail. And every time it fails the next time gets harder.
sorry for saying that, but it's true
