Paid care worker organizing in England: priorities and progress?
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 and the circumstances of care workers, and paid care work's position in contemporary neoliberal capitalism.
