📢 UNISON Fair Visa Nation Rally – 10 June

Migrant care workers came to the UK when the care sector desperately needed them. They worked hard. They paid their taxes. They built their lives here. They did everything that was asked of them. Now the government wants to change the rules.

For months, UNISON members have lobbied MPs and made the case for fairness. But Keir Starmer and Shabana Mahmood are still pressing ahead.

✊ UNISON is done waiting quietly.

Join us on 10 June as we take our message directly to Downing Street and the Home Office.
