THE economic divides in our country have once again been exposed by the actions of this Tory government.
The news of the £3,000 pay rise for MPs will provoke tremendous anger among working-class people everywhere but none more so than in the NHS where nurses and other NHS staff have been told that despite all of their sacrifices in fighting Covid-19, they are not worth a fair and necessary wage increase.
But how is all of this anger to be channelled? The only way is through the trade union movement itself. The #NHSpay15 campaign has gained massive attention and support despite the fact that some unions have not yet been prepared to fully back it.
