Hundreds of care workers’ jobs could be at risk after care home firm HC-One announced their intention to sell homes, GMB has warned today (Thursday).
These workers – many of whom earn pennies above minimum wage – are now left unsure of their futures.
Natalie Grayson, GMB’s National Care Officer, said:
“Care workers do a vital role looking after our most vulnerable. They deserve decent pay and job security.
“The company needs to look at all possible options before selling off these homes – putting at risk resident and care worker security alike.
“HC-One has to ensure they’re not putting profit ahead of key workers and vulnerable people.”
