My wife works in a dementia unit in a care home the wage is a joke when you consider the job they do and the amount of training involved, why do police and prison officers deserve more than the 1% my wife and her colleagues get each year.
The whole public sector needs a pay rise, the TUC's general secretary has said as she warned ministers against "cherry-picking" certain workers.
Frances O'Grady told the TUC's annual conference that workers had had enough after seven years of pay freezes and caps being "imposed" on them.
