Unison members have voted to accept the government's 1% pay offer for NHS workers.
67% of members voted to accept the offer, with 32% rejecting it. GMB, Society of Radiographers and the Royal College of Midwives members have already accepted the deal.
This is essentially an offer of 1% over two years for most health workers and a slightly bigger increase for those on the lowest pay.
For health workers who have suffered years of frozen pay, this offer is derisory. It will leave those on the top of their bands with even less in their pay packets than when we started the action. In real terms the only people that will take home a penny more are on the lowest two pay points. Everyone else gets a pay cut.
