Keeping all the balls in the air - juggling with caring, work and life

Approximately 10 members of shopworkers’ union Usdaw and a number of MPs will be joined by professional jugglers to highlight the problems faced by working carers.

The event will take place between 10.30am to 11.30am, Tuesday 14 June 2005 at College Green, House of Commons, where the jugglers will be showing our members and MPs how to juggle the stresses of caring, work and life using specially produced juggling balls.

Usdaw’s Parents and Carers campaign aims to win better rights for its 340,000 members both with employers and Government.
