Are you a mirgrant care worker? Complete GMB's migrant care worker survey https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/iwHy02XH4q
Too many migrant care workers are facing insecure hours and having to rely on multiple employers, as well as pressure linked to visa sponsorship and fear of speaking up. Many are also dealing with high visa and recruitment costs, alongside uncertainty about their future and their ability to settle in the UK. At the same time, decisions are being discussed that could make it harder and take longer to secure Indefinite Leave to Remain. Without clear evidence from workers, these decisions will be made without your voice.
This is not just a survey, this is evidence that GMB will use to challenge the UK Governments, demand fair pay, secure hours, and safe staffing, and push for stronger protections against exploitation. It will also support our campaign for a system that allows workers to move between employers. Critically, it will help defend the right to settlement by making the case that Indefinite Leave to Remain must remain at five years or less.
We need to clearly show how many workers are dependent on sponsorship, how many are struggling with hours, pay, and conditions, and how visa rules are affecting your ability to stay and work in the UK. It is also essential to demonstrate that extending the time to settlement would push workers out of the sector or the country. The stronger the evidence, the stronger our ability to win change.
