Public sector pay freeze protests 8 August

Keep Our NHS Public and Health Campaigns Together are supporting a series of protests for Saturday 8 August, over the government’s refusal to include NHS workers in any pay increase deal this year, despite the massive sacrifices made during the pandemic. Please join your local meeting if you can:

NHS workers across the country are organising a wave of protests on Saturday 8th August demanding a 15% pay increase paid from 1 December 2020, in order to start recovering a decade of lost wages.

From the organisers: “We are calling on NHS staff and supporters to join us to send a clear message to the government. We do not accept your plans to exclude us from the public sector pay increase, and we will make ourselves heard until you listen.”

An online rally will also be taking place from 11am to 2pm for anyone who cannot join outdoor protests.
