The government’s announcement on indefinite leave to remain is imminent. Time is running out to prevent migrant care workers from being hit by deeply unfair and retrospective changes.
UNISON's campaign against this horrible proposals has been led by thousands of migrant members. The same people who stand side by side with us to run public services, now need us to stand side by side with them - to protect their future.
Email your MP now and ask them to sign a letter to the Home Secretary before the announcement. MPs must speak out while migrant workers’ futures hang in the balance.
UNISON is calling for:
-
An end to exploitation by replacing employer-sponsored visas with a sector-wide visa scheme for social care.
-
No retrospective changes and no 15‑year qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain, alongside proper recognition of the vital economic and social contribution made by public sector workers.
-
A fully funded Fair Pay Agreement for the social care sector.
ACT NOW: Ask your MP to sign the private letter and send one final, powerful message to the Home Secretary before the ILR announcement.
