We are a choir made up of migrant care workers who are here under the skilled worker visa scheme. Through song we hope to raise awareness of exploitation

Migrant care workers are suffering terrible exploitation in plain sight in the UK. They have left their homelands to provide care to our loved ones but they'e often abused by unscrupulous employers. We aim to raise awareness of the issue. Hear our song! youtu.be/Nk72GqRv28g

In the panel discussion today at @TUC_NEYH Regional Conference @unisontheunion spoke about 'Active Members' campaigning for a Fair Visa Campaign in adult social care. We agreed in the presentation to post this video for delegates to see 'Organising To Win' in action #tucneyh26

📹📢 Yesterday, overseas staff working in social care and the NHS travelled to Westminster to lobby MPs over plans to restrict visa rules for care workers. 💜✊ Today, on #InternationalMigrantsDay, we recognise the migrant workers whose voices were at the heart of that lobby.

@AndreaEganGS I hope many more put their names to it. We need to know exactly who to asset strip once the cost of the Boriswave sinks the country. We’ll assume that as union leaders, your membership won’t mind being included as complicit.

I'm proud to sign this letter to the Home Office supported by over 70 MPs and 33 civil society groups. UNISON will always stand up for our members, regardless of where they were born.

I’m campaigning against unfair changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain. I delivered a letter to the Home Office signed by @AndreaEganGS, 70+ parliamentarians and 33 civil society groups. These plans will divide communities and damage services. Ministers must think again.

The proposals to change settlement rules would pull the rug from under migrant workers, including in social care who provide dignity and comfort to our loved ones. The Government must uphold its promises. Thank you @NeilforPoole for delivering this letter to @ukhomeoffice

As billionaires whip up hate, Labour must stop scapegoating migrants and worsening their exploitation at the hands of bullying employers. Migrant workers, many of whom are UNISON members, are our country’s backbone. My piece in the Guardian today: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

These care workers came to UK for a better life and to care for our elderly and disabled people – only to be ripped off by a broken visa system. Abused and exploited, they still find joy at the uplifting Barnsley Caring Voices choir. #RealBritain mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/w…
