When I joined - when I was still a student #nurse - it was because I felt they had more backbone than the #RCN. I thought the RCN used to just bend over for the Trust, whereas Unison were more on our side.
Unison were also affiliated with the #Labour party, of which I was a member.
I’m now a member of neither, and neither are anything close to as left as they were. #RedTories, both.

FFS. How to love and hate a democratic process at the same.
I’m one of the 26%, and I’m beyond frustrated that people don’t look at the bigger picture.
I wonder how the majority will feel when they see what the #JuniorDoctors get.

The Treasury has indicated in a private memo, seen by the FT, that public sector awards of up to 5 per cent for 2023-24 would only have a “low risk” of setting a benchmark for protracted high private sector pay growth.
The move came after official figures showed public borrowing was likely to be £30bn lower than expected, due to factors such as high tax receipts, a fall in energy prices and low public investment.

Australian officials seek to ‘steal’ British teachers, doctors and nurses ...
“We are here to steal your workers by offering them a better life in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
“Our wages are higher and our cost of living is lower. Our health system is world class. You will be taken care of.

It's not just the UK that is experiencing a health care crisis.
COVID, staff burnout, staff shortages, shortages, backlogs for other illnesses particularly cancer care are all contributing to the problem.

65 followers · 138 posts · Server mastodonapp.ukDespite voting ‘yes’, I didn’t #strike today, for 3 reasons:
1. I work in an emergency / crisis setting, and we remain working.
2. Not every #NHS Trust has been impacted. If fewer than 50% of the electorate voted, then although it hasn’t been widely publicised, a strike would be unlawful.
In my Trust only 25.70% voted in the ballot. This is with #Unison, not #RCN.
3. I’m off sick. 🙄
But I stand in #solidarity with my #nursing colleagues who have taken strike action today.

Wes, oh Wes...
“I’m not frightened to take on vested interests, and I’m not afraid to tell the BMA or other unions ‘no’ – and I think people respect that honesty,” said Mr Streeting, adding that he would take on those in his party who are blocking NHS reform.
In a speech to the Institute of Public Policy Research last week, Mr Streeting said Labour would have gone further than Tories have in using private hospital beds f

I remember these lines from her song #Unison and I remember when she sang it live and I was on stage with her dancing.
"Here we are undivided by anything
Just you and I
We've come so far no one else could ever
Steal away what we confide
Who wants to know?"
It's all I can envision right now. The song these lyrics and how they hit home then & now

Was part of the organisation that spoke to people at work but it wasn't enough.
Think it reflects the years of non engagement at work by the union. ☹️
