Striking health workers deliver Christmas card to Health Secretary over pay
Representatives from Unite the union with a member dressed as the Grinch delivering a signed Christmas card for Health Secretary Victoria Atkins at the Department of Health, London, to highlight the issues NHS staff are facing, December 18, 2023

STRIKING hospital workers delivered a Christmas card to the office of Health Secretary Victoria Atkins today warning her strike action will continue at three NHS trusts unless they are given pay justice.

Members of Unite whose jobs have been hived off to the private sector say they have been denied a lump sum payment of £1,650 paid to directly employed NHS workers.

They work at Barts Health NHS Trust in East London, Together Support Solutions (2SS), a wholly owned subsidiary of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, and contractor Mitie at Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust in the West Midlands.
