Tory government owes UK workers £400m, and is refusing to pay up
The May government owes UK care workers £400m in back pay, after a court ruling in May 2017. But months later, the government is refusing to pay up.
The ruling
In May, Unison won a major victory over the Conservative government on behalf of UK care workers. The May government had issued guidelines that care workers required to work sleep-in shifts were not entitled to be paid the minimum wage. Labour MP Steph Peacock explains why this ruling was so unfair:
