Our Branch has taken part before, but this year being the Centenary year, they have decided to make it more Family/Children orientated. Bouncy castles, face painting and other activities will take place for children as well as the sponsored walk for adults.

Government honours 3 year health pay deal

UNISON today welcomed the Government’s assurance that it would honour a
3-year pay deal for the UK’s health workers.  

The assurance came as the Government submitted evidence to pay review bodies covering senior civil servants, NHS managers and magistrates, calling for a pay freeze.

Head of Health, Karen Jennings, said:

“We are pleased that the Government is honouring the three-year pay deal for
our hard-working health members – many of whom are low-paid women.   

“They will breathe a sigh of relief that they won’t have their pay frozen.  

“The deal has given a decent increase for our members and established a new
minimum wage of £6.77 an hour.”

“The 3 year deal gave 2.75% from April 2008; 2.54% in year 2 and a minimum
wage of £6.77 an hour and, in year 3, an increase of 2.5%, including a flat
rate increase of £420 for the bottom three grades.”
