    Thoughts on the 1% pay rise to NHS staff?

    Got to say I agree with the person who tweeted the following:

    To protect the NHS

    ▪️Millions of people have given up 20% salary for a year
    ▪️Millions are on waiting lists for treatment
    ▪️ Millions will lose jobs
    ▪️ 77,000 have lost homes, so far.

    Now NHS unions call for strike because we haven't protected them enough.

    Harsh, but true.

    That is a complete non sequitur though.

    Nurses are underpaid and undervalued, and have had their pay eroded further by austerity pay freezes and below inflation level pay rises over the last decade plus.

    Their complete dissatisfaction with a 1% pay increment now, on top of after having done what they’d done during the past year is completely understandable.

    The slogan ‘Protect the NHS’ was solely about controlling the spread of the virus and so not seeing our health system completely overrun which would have resulted in even more deaths. Whoever has chosen to take that and try and twist it into the nation somehow making a sacrifice for nurses is beyond belief imo.

    Just a personal view
    The health service unions and by extension nhs workers in general by going down this path stand a very good chance of losing all the brownie points they have built up over the past 12 months

    1% is a bit stingy but the 12.5% that the union are demanding is more than ridiculous.

    There will be alot of to-ing and fro-ing for a few months before settling for around 2%.

    The fact that there are a record number of people wanting to now become a nurse actually reduces the leverage that has built up this year.

    From a personal point of view anyone who gets a pay rise over the pandemic should consider themselves extremely lucky. Saying that, I hope the NHS staff toward the bottom of the ladder can get a good deal.

    My eldest is a sister on a high dependency ward and works long hours in a stressful job, it's not tik-tok every shift, the problem is to many managers getting very good money and complete wastage in procurement of equipment a complete overall is needed...keep throwing money at the same problem without change isn't going to fix nowt

    That's why I hope the true heroes get a good deal. The ambulance drivers, porters, nurses, cleaners etc have had it the worst. The managers working from home should forego their raise and put it in to the pot for the front line.

    100% agree, I’ve said it before, join the NHS and your job is to save lives, it’s just like joining the army you might go to war and get shot at, don’t join if it’s not your thing.

    I deliver pharmaceutical goods, I’ve delivered to dozens of COVID confirmed cases. I’m not on the frontline like many nurses and doctors but I’m definitely more on it than the pen pushers in the NHS.

    I definitely appreciate the doctors and nurses who’ve dealt with COVID cases directly but in any hospital there are more NHS staff that have had no contact.

    I’m grateful to have employment, I’m sure we all know families struggling to cope, they’d love to be in full time employment.
