What are paid care workers in England’s attitudes and considerations regarding organising
In England, pay and working conditions in adult social care (ASC) employment are among the worst in the labour market. There are signs of positive reform through legislation being introduced by the Labour government elected in July 2024, but there are several obstacles to delivering meaningful change. With positive state-level policy slow to materialise, this article examines a dimension of paid care workers’ own efforts to bring about change, na…
Paid care worker organizing in England
The discussion assesses the implications of these findings for ASC worker organizing and prospects for change. It contends that there remain significant barriers both to meaningful change in the situation of paid care workers, and to care worker organizing playing a greater or more prominent role in driving change. Concluding reflections consider what the issues identified in care worker organizing reveal about the relative status of care work an…
Young adults as paid care workers
Community and Care in Independent Union Organising of Paid Care Workers
Paid care work persists as a site of low pay, insecurity, and exploitation globally, with ‘decent work’ elusive. In England, the adult social care (ASC) workforce is fragmented, contributing to a lack of sectoral-level organising and collective bargaining. Consequently, industrial disputes in the sector are uncommon; however, they do occur. Based on a case study of an independent trade union, United Voices of the World, involving interviews with …
Who still cares? Gendered and classed ‘care trajectories’ into paid adult social care and childcare work
The decline of masculinised industries across the Global North is well documented; however, to date, there has been relatively little discussion of feminised paid care work in formerly industrial areas. Drawing on evidence of gendered and classed ‘care trajectories’ into paid adult social care and childcare care work in one such area, Teesside, North-East England, our findings show continuities with research documenting entrenched problems with l…
Is it time for job quality? Conceptualising temporal arrangements in new models of homecare
Time is a key organising principle in the formal provision of care to older people in their own homes. It is used when delivering homecare services, calculating fees and care staff's pay entitlement. Research in the UK highlights how the predominant service model of compartmentalising care into pre-defined tasks, delivered in strictly scheduled time-based units, offers poor quality jobs, characterised by low pay, insecure and tightly controlled w…
