Description: UNISON - The NHS pay award in England is nowhere near enough. Not enough to keep pace with rising prices. Nowhere near what’s needed to improve staffing and protect patient care. That’s why UNISON running an industrial action ballot in the NHS. Vote Yes for industrial action.
The vote comes after months of courageous strike action across the country by UNISON members, whose courage and determination to repeatedly join picket lines has demonstrated a simple fact – industrial action works .
Your decisive action has forced ministers to the table and allowed negotiators the opportunity to squeeze extra money out of the government. The resulting offer amounts to a doubling of the cash value of the pay award in 2022, as well as permanently increasing pay by 5% for this year.
The dispute has sent a stark warning to the government that it must drastically alter its approach to the recruitment and retention crisis. It has also shown that ignoring NHS staff for months on end, refusing to discuss their pay and failing to address their serious concerns about the impact on patient care won’t make the issues go away.
