NHS strike called off
Unions had planned a 12-hour walkout, starting at 9am, in anger at the Department for Health deciding against an across the board one per cent pay increase for all staff.
The new offer, which has not been publicised, has been described as “not great” by Unison, but it will now be put to members of all unions.
Unison’s head of health and the unions’ lead negotiator, Christina McAnea, said: “The two strike days staged by health workers last year have moved the government to negotiate with the unions.
“This isn’t a great offer but it addresses some of the key concerns unions have about low pay in the NHS. In the interest of patients’ safety unions will now consult members.
“It will be up to members to decide whether to accept or reject the proposals. If they choose to reject them we will move to further industrial action.”

Their concern rose with discovery the flame retardant paints most widely used paint along escape routes have been ones which to this day counter-productively use emission of heavy toxic gas to smother flames which rapidly spread along walls if layers of paint delaminate in a fire.
