NHS being recommended 1% pay rise

[blue44]

Well know you do , you can let the poor NHS workers know they are free to apply for jobs with remuneration more in line with what they expect for their skills

one day,what you say will come back and bite you on the arse,trust me
adieu

Wanting to provide medical care to help the ill, injured and dying you mean? Yes, lets be unkind to those people. Nice sentiment

Who's unkind they are getting a pay rise

This thread is going to end in tears. Some of us need to calm down. Certain people obviously never received world class critical care in the last year on here, where the staff gave up family and free time to show compassion beyond words

Great post and wise words

I respect the NHS workers hugely and what they have done in this pandemic. However, a lot of the private sector have seen a drop in their real earnings since the financial crisis of the past decade. I know plenty who had pay cuts, had their pay frozen or simply lost their jobs.

The country is in a financial hole, unfortunately low to middle earners will be the ones that bear the brunt. If the economy booms after Covid is under control hopefully better pay for NHS and other key workers will filter through.

Human nature mate. I'm sure the NHS would have preferred a pay rise and us all staying in our houses rather than fuck all and us all coming out to clap.

Yes many NHS staff went more than the extra mile, as did Police Officers for instance, as did many unsung heroes. Most of the 1.3 million NHS workers are not ICU nurses and doctors.
Yes 1% is sod all especially with tax thresholds frozen , but unless you're at the top of the grade then an annual increment will be paid as well as 1%.

Lots of people have given up lots of shit and mainly to a frankly self interested population. If a thread is started discussing all those who have gone beyond the normal one might be more positive and a debate on funding could be performed.

In the meantime self serving whinging is a little unbecoming. If decent people don't get together as a whole then life will continue as it has done for an awfully long time.
