Unison members are now on strike in Liverpool. NHS nurses in England are set for an additional pay offer for 2023. This is going to mark a significant U-turn for the government and it shows that the union strikes are now highly successful. Unison have chosen to announce that they are suspending the strike day so that they can enter and have talks with the government. The government have promised that they are going to offer extra investment for this year and the next. They have said that the decision comes after the Health and Social Care department have confirmed that they are going to do this for those who work in a nurse agency as well as those who work as part of a nursing recruitment agency. If you work for carers or if you seek care jobs then you will know what a big decision this is overall. The government have said that they are not willing to talk about the pay for next year but they do want to focus on the year after. Unions have said all this time that they would be willing to pause strikes if ministers did allow formal talks to take place regarding the pay for the year. Strike plans are going to be resumed if the result is not deemed positive. GMB, a fellow union have also taken steps to suspend their strikes. They are going to join negotiations and they are going to hold them for the staff council as well. There are hopes that this is going to finally result in some agreement being made but right now it cannot be said for sure, what is going to happen. The talks are still continuing as of yet so make sure you follow this story if it is going to impact you.
