A trade union for carers ?

Carers work. Workers deserve a wage. Carers receive an allowance, ie a pittance. Old carers don't necessarily receive even that. They are too old to work, so how can they expect a wage, they already get a pension? 

If they are too old to work how can they be carers ? Caring is very hard work, particularly if it is of the 24/7 variety.

Carers need a trade union to represent their interests and get them a proper wage. Will the TUC support the establishment of a trade union for carers ?
