NHS Staff Pay Rise

NHS Workers Pay Rise

The NHS is the jewel in the crown of our country. For nearly 74 years, it has provided healthcare, free at the point of access, for millions of people. But the NHS is not just bricks and mortar or ambulances and equipment. Its success is driven by the brilliant healthcare workers who provide standards of care undreamt of in previous generations. These are the same people that saved lives during the pandemic, placing themselves on the front line in the battle to contain the virus. These are the people who work long hours, in stressful conditions, so the rest of us have a fighting chance of getting better when we’re ill.

Our Union stands foursquare behind the NHS and NHS workers. We believe that an NHS pay rise to meet the cost of living is long overdue.

Introduction to NHS Pay Rises

In recent years, the government has announced a series of pay rises for NHS staff.

These pay rises were not only important for the financial security of NHS staff, but also for improving morale and boosting recruitment and retention. The pay rises were also a sign that the government recognised the contribution NHS staff made to our healthcare system.

But times are tough and NHS workers need more help.

The Workers Union Supports NHS Salary Increase for NHS Staff

The Workers Union is an organisation that supports NHS staff for better pay and conditions. The union is committed to advocating for improved working conditions for NHS staff.

NHS Workers Pay Rise, NHS Salary Increase

In recent years, the union has argued for the introduction of the cost of living increase for NHS staff in 2023-4, as well as for better terms and conditions for healthcare workers.

In response, the government has offered NHS staff in England a 5 percent pay rise effective from April 2023. The increase will be supplemented by a one-off payment of at least £1,655 to top up last year’s pay award. However, with inflation running at about 10%, nurses, ambulance workers and support staff still face significant cost of living challenges.

Strategies for Securing NHS Pay Rises

Pay rises can be secured using several strategies. The first strategy is to use lobbying.

The second strategy is to apply pressure on the government. This includes lobbying, writing to MPs. These activities can help to show the government that the public is behind the NHS staff and supports the pay rises.

Finally, it is important to ensure that NHS staff have the support of their employers. This means negotiating for pay rises on an individual basis with employers and ensuring that they are willing to pass on the appropriate pay rises to the staff.

The Workers Union Supports Improved Conditions for Healthcare Workers
