UNISON members in NI are campaigning to tackle low pay across the private social care sector. Far too many workers continue to face persistently low wages, and we are determined to see that change by making the Real Living Wage the minimum standard for everyone employed in the social care sector.

The Living Wage Foundation independently calculates the Real Living Wage based on the real cost of living, and it is currently set at £13.45 per hour.

Social care workers provide essential care and support every day, often in challenging circumstances. They must be properly recognised and rewarded for the vital work they do.

UNISON NI will continue to campaign for fair pay and will press employers and decision-makers to ensure the Real Living Wage is delivered for all workers in the private social care sector as soon as possible.
