Yes Joey,
the NHS should ask for 12%
that would sound more Fair

fingers crossed Rusti x

Well it's usual to have a high figure originally to then come down on in compromise to a lower one.

The government do NEED to look at something like that and NOT follow the continuing procrastination road they've followed for years now under successive Prime Ministers.

The government can't keep putting their fingers in their ears and sing la la la. Maybe they can't afford the pay demands, but that shouldn't stop them talking. People will die today as a result of this strike

Ambulance Union has now added 2 more strikes next month

Wednesday 11th January
and Monday 23rd January

It's really sad but I support them 100%.

Thanks LT….:love:

Tomorrow, Ambulance are on Strike again

Then on the 23rd as well

Terrible Dangerous Strike
today.

It is a dangerous strike, and we know more people will die.

I really hope things improve massively after this , otherwise it was all for nothing .

6 in all Strike Dates

[Ambulance staff at eight NHS trusts are
set to walk out on 6 and 20 February, and 6 and 20 March.

Workers at West Midlands ambulance service will also
strike on 23 January and North West
Ambulance Service will walk out on 24 January.]

Today, Monday 20th of Feb
National Ambulance Strike
again.

GMB Union
Getting no talks

Scottish nurses offer on the table works out as around a 14%-15% increase from April 2021-April 2023 (17%+ at the lower end of the pay bands) and I think it's looking likely that the offer will be accepted on vote. Other amendments to pay scale structure are being looked at and amended going forward as well.

I think that's the best that can be hoped for, but I think it also serves as a pretty clear mandate for English staff to hold out for 15% :shrug:.

If the govt. continue to refuse and Scottish nurses end up on a full 15% higher salary than south of the border, there'll be an exodus of Northern English nurses moving to the South of Scotland :joker:.

12% is what many are saying is the max
for UK.

Far fewer people will die from these strikes than will die over the next 5-10 years if the situation isn't addressed, properly, and quickly. Teetering on the edge of a healthcare catastrophe.

One foot's already over to be honest.

Strikes on Hold


New Talks are now going on
