Kent: UNISON joins with residents and families to defend care homes‏

UNISON launched a campaign to disrupt the planned closure and privatisation of a number of council-run care homes for the elderly in Kent. David Buss - chair of the branch's adult services stewards committee - said: "UNISON is committed to joining with everyone who wants to defend these vital services to some of Kent's most vulnerable people, who have given their lives to their communities and should now have the right to spend their remaining years in dignity in the home of their choice." http://www.yourcanterbury.co.uk/kent-news/Union-fights-plans-to-close-KCC-care-homes-newsinkent38472.aspx?news=local
