UNISON NHS members in England set to strike
UNISON members working in the NHS in England will walkout for 12 hours between 9am – 9pm on Thursday 29th January.
They will then work to rule between Friday 30 and Tuesday 24 February which means they will be working their contracted hours and will take their breaks and not do unpaid overtime. This will be followed a 24-hour strike on Wednesday 25 February.
UNISON members along with workers from 11 other Trade Unions have already taken two four-hour stoppages in October and November. This third round of action is in protest at the Government’s decision to reject the 1% pay rise for NHS staff as recommended by the independent Pay Review Body in 2014 and the fact most will be denied a pay increase in 2015/16.
There will be a 12 hour strike by members of 10 health unions across England next Thursday (January 29th) from 9AM – 9PM.
This is as part of the health unions ongoing dispute over pay in the NHS.
