A CARE home worker won a legal battle today after suffering shocking victimisation for recruiting colleagues into a union and helping organise a successful strike.

An employment tribunal ruled that Bella Ruiz was victimised by bosses at Sage nursing home in north London, where she persuaded more than 30 workers to join the United Voices of the World union (UVW).

She led walkout over poverty pay, a lack of protective equipmet and appalling working conditions at the height of the pandemic.
