NHS staff set off from St Thomasâ Hospital to Downing St demanding a 15% pay rise
UNISONâS campaign for an immediate pay rise for health workers goes up a level this week â with a plea to the public and serious demands made of MPs.
Had the government already agreed to a fair and reasonable pay rise of £2,000 for all health workers, this week NHS staff would be getting an extra £38.46 a week in their pay packets.
Instead, they have nothing.
The governmentâs delay means that, after leading the battle against Covid-19, more than a million health workers â including cleaners, porters, physiotherapists, 999 call handlers, nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants â must now wait until later in the year for a wage increase.
