Read the Guardian article here: Rishi Sunak refuses to budge on NHS pay as strikes continue: PM says rises could make inflation worse and states politicians should not ‘cut across’ independent pay review process »
Hogwash! Where would we have been without the nurses during the pandemic? Clapping in appreciation of their services was all well and good, but when all is said and done, clapping doesn’t put food on the table!
Why is it that when bankers, others in finance, and CEOs pay themselves multi-million pound bonuses, it is not inflationary, but when people like nurses want a modest increase in pay to keep their salaries in line with inflation, it cannot be paid because doing so would fuel even more inflation? This, Mr. Sunak, makes no sense whatsoever. For heaven’s sake, pay our health workers properly, pay them a decent salary, pay them a salary commensurate with their services to society! – © Mark Alexander
