Health minister Stephen Kinnock tells @GMB he urges unions to “be at the table to engage with us constructively” on pay.
We’d love to. That’s why we’ve been actively asking the government to sit down with us to #PutNHSPayRight since last autumn

Congrats to Phlebotomists in East and North Herts hospitals, supported by @UNISONEastern, for securing your re-banding to band 3.
“Hopefully this will show other NHS trusts that they should be paying phlebotomists fairly as well.”

The UNISON delegation shone at the TUC Black Workers Conference 11-13 April. The theme Educate, Agitate & Organise reignited our commitment to equity.
Thank you to all who reminded us of the strength, unity, and resilience within our movement, communities, and collective struggle.
