Spotlight Day - A Better Deal for Dads
Each year Usdaw holds a campaign day called Supporting Parents and Carers Spotlight Day. Hundreds of reps and activists get involved by running campaigns in their workplaces.
This year's spotlight day, themed 'Not Enough Hours in the Day', highlights the difficulties of juggling work with being a parent or carer.
Further details on how to get involved in the campaign will be announced soon.
We want to let members know that:
- The Union understands that changes to contracts and demands for ever greater flexibility are making it harder for members who are parents and carers.
- We can help with problems like hours of work or needing time off to care.
- We can signpost members to appropriate support organisations where difficulties balancing work with care commitments are causing problems outside of work.
