We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.
Healthcare assistant Jane has a message to the trusts 👇
"Just bring an offer to the table, give us the recognition we deserve, it is the least you can do"

Nothing to see here. Just the brilliant Katrina and her fellow healthcare assistants on a picket line standing up to the hospital's chief executive over pay!

IT WAS AMAZING DAY💜It was a pleasure to take a part in the picket line not only as Health Care Assistant but also as a Unison Representative. We were amazing, all of us. Huge thank you to Unison for organising and supporting us as well all who attended. You are extraordinary❣️
Thrilled to be with members in Leicester, marking the start of their strike for fair pay.
They've undertaken clinical duties without recognition, a testament to the goodwill that fuels the NHS. Now, they want the wages and backpay.
Time to pay what you owe @Leic_hospital
Great turnout by Leicester HCAs today 💜✊
They shouldn't have to do this to get the money they are owed. Time for Trusts to step up and #PayFairForPatientCare@UNISONEastMids
Health Care Assistants are amongst the lowest paid staff in the health service, with many being women and other minorities.
Their fair demand for back pay to reflect the actual work carried out is a just one.
With them all the way
