Barry joined striking Unison members on their picket lines at the Bristol Cote Lane and the Sandford sites of the St Monica Trust, on Monday 11 July.
These low paid care workers are being subjected to brutal fire and rehire tactics, being told they must sign new contracts that will result in the loss of up to 21% of their pay, or lose their jobs.
But their biggest concern, as they explained to Barry, is the use of agency staff by the Trust, who are not skilled or experienced. Barry later raised this in the House of Commons and called on the minister to refer the Trust to the Health and Safety Executive.
