I met with two NHS workers yesterday, getting ready to protest this weekend and handing out flyers to call for support.
NHS Workers Say No
Multiple events are scheduled for 12 September 2020 in solidarity with the NHS health and social care workers around the UK, to demand fair recognition of everyone in the NHS family and their tireless work throughout the pandemic.
If you clapped for them, please come and stand with them.
Many of us believe it is a disgrace that so many people who worked so hard and risked their lives have been overlooked in the public sector pay rise.
Without nurses, health care assistants, porters, cleaners and the whole NHS family we could not have made it through.
For too long this work has been underpaid and undervalued and now NHS Workers say NO!
The government is squeezing our amazing National Health Service from all sides, and frankly, none of us can take anymore more.
The NHS employees want to say NO to privatisation, deliberate underfunding, low wages and poor conditions.
We should support them.

On 8 August already, NHS workers protested in over 40 cities across the UK for a 15% pay rise.
Now NHS Workers across the UK continue to mobilise colleagues, organise and lobby our trade unions.
Here is a short film about why they protested in London:

NB.
These will be peaceful protests, no violence or intimidation will be tolerated.
The NHS protesters ask that all attendees respect social distancing as much as possible and we have planned a route that gives us a much space as possible.
Mask wearing will be mandatory, and masks will be available on the day for those that don't have them. We ask that attendees wear blue, or a blue ribbon in solidarity.
