The #NHS strikes aren’t just about pay, they are about the future of our Health Service. They are about patients being put at risk daily due to chronic understaffing. They are about kicking the profiteers out. They are about ALL OF US which is why everyone must get behind it.
Why are nurses voting to strike?
🏥 Between 2011-’21 nurses average basic earnings fell by 5%
❤️🩹 44% have been unwell due to stress and overwork
👩⚕️ 6 in 10 are considering leaving their jobs
🧑⚕️ NHS England has a 40,000 nurse shortfall
Get behind @theRCN 💜
#EnoughIsEnough
A man wanting to jump off a bridge in London was talked down by strangers who held him for an hour until help arrived. Look at that grip. Look at the care, compassion, selflessness, and determination shown by strangers to a hurting human being.
We need more of this in the world.
Nurses have suffered a pay cut of 6% over the last ten years. They are now being told to take a pay cut of (at least) 4% this year.
Is it any wonder they are balloting for strike action.
To support the NHS & to truly recognise the sacrifices of nurses, back them now. Please.
