BREAKING: NHS Unison members accept government pay offer in England.
Healthcare workers who are members of one of Britain’s biggest trade unions have accepted the pay deal
After a ballot today, the union confirmed that members voted to accept the deal that includes a 5% pay rise for 2023/24 worth at least £1,065. With a 53% turnout of 152,329 votes cast, 74% voted yes while 26% weren’t swayed by the government’s offer. ‘Over the past few weeks, health workers have weighed up what’s on offer. They’ve opted for the certainty of getting the extra cash in their pockets soon.‘Unions told ministers last summer the £1,400 pay rise wasn’t enough to stop staff leaving the NHS, nor to prevent strikes. But they didn’t want to listen.
