Care workers in Doncaster have started a further three weeks of industrial action as part of their long-running pay dispute with Care UK.
About 70 workers are taking part in this latest walkout, according to Unison.
The union is calling for wages to rise from £7 to the national living wage of £7.65 an hour. Members have already taken 48 days of action since February.
Care UK called the latest action "unnecessary and irresponsible".
The company bids for health and social care contracts from the NHS, and in Doncaster provides assisted living for people with learning disabilities in their homes.
