🔍 What’s Equal Pay?
It’s the law: Men and women must receive equal pay for equal work.
That means:
⚖️ Same job
⚖️ Work rated as equivalent
⚖️ Work of equal value
If the work’s equal but the pay isn’t – that’s illegal.
🗓️ 2 August 2025 marks 700 days since our mental health social workers dispute began.
📆 81 strike days. 13 weeks of action.
@BarnetCouncil paid agency staff to break the strike.
But the workplace is still unsafe.
Shame on @BarnetCouncil

🧓👵 Care in Crisis?
📊 New data shows over 60% of Barnet care workers are aged 51+
👉 168 workers are 51–60
👉 100 are aged 61–70
👉 Just 28 aged 21–30
🛑 Without urgent action to recruit and retain new staff, our care system is at serious risk.
