Nursing strikes to go ahead in England, fixed it for you.
Meanwhile, North of the border it’s a 7.5% increase across NHS Scotland with up to 11.24% for the bottom pay bands and a commitment to reduce the working week from 37.5 hours to 36 hours with no loss of pay.
I saw Maria Caulfield on TV earlier, talking about how it’s unaffordable for the government to give the payrise.
She’s an ex nurse who “volunteered” during COVID**
** Claimed back £260 a day on expenses
In an attempt to make nurses look awful by striking in winter, at a time when the NHS is under more pressure than it has ever been. It just ignores the fact that nurses would not need to strike if pay had kept up with inflation, the NHS and social care were adequately funded over the last decade, and working conditions were not already jeopardising patient safety. It is the Tories being tough on unions but continuing to ignore why unions are coordinating strikes in the first place.
I fully support this strike. Nurses where struggling before the cost of living crisis, so must be on the breaking point now, my heart fully goes out to them.
After all they have done during the COVID pandemic, you would think any MP with a shred of decency would support giving them a fair pay rise.
I think it would be perfectly reasonable to give all NHS staff a 12% a pay rise with lower-paid staff like nurses being given a 20% pay rise. Reducing their working hours by 10% from 37.5 to 34 hours so they don’t burn-out (where mistakes can easily happen) would also be fair.
Considering that The NHS, nerses in particular provide a invaluable service to the people of The UK, when we are at our most vulnerable, it is completely reasonable for them to damand to be treated with respect and given a fair wage to life of.
If you are a nerse reading this, Thank You, you deserve better. I fully support you striking. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
This is not all about pay either. Many nurses are concerned that the poor staffing and conditions are preventing them from safely providing care to their patients. One part of improving this is to increase staffing, and one part of that is better pay.
He’s probably too busy negotiating with private health firms.
